In my books you have to concentrate, but I work hard to make it that, when you do, the rewards are quite high.
There are grand rewards for those who pick the high hard roads, but those rewards are hidden by years.
A tiny change today brings us to a dramatically different tomorrow. There are grand rewards for those who pick the high hard roads, but those rewards are hidden by years. Every choice is made in the uncaring blind, no guarantees from the world around us.
With hard work comes rewards and I want to make youngsters who could have gone left but went right find the right path.
What I am suggesting is hard work and it can be slow work, but the rewards are well worth it.
Life normally rewards you for hard work.
When you work hard, you get great rewards after that.
Film work is hard work. It's long days, and quite often quite dismaying locations you have to be in.
Balance is if you try hard, you work hard then the rewards are in balance with what you put in and what is available.
You cannot expect rewards without putting in hard work.
170 is not a popularity contest. 170 is a working man's weight class where you work hard, you get your rewards whereas at lightweight, it wasn't the same. You could work as hard as you want, win as many fights as you want, and there's no promise what you're going to get out of it.
Hard work pays off. When someone tells you otherwise, beware the sales pitch for something "fast and easy" that's about to come next. The greater your capacity for hard work, the more rewards fall within your grasp. The deeper you can dig, the more treasure you can potentially find.
Hearing that people read my books when they were sick, or that the books helped them find an escape when they were having a hard time... stuff like that makes all the hard work pay off.
The best feeling in the world is seeing the benefits and rewards of hard work.
And if you look at all this academic work in the conferences and so on there's a constant theme that terrorism is extremely hard to define and we therefore have to have a deep thinking about it. And the reason it's hard to define is quite simple. It's hard to find a definition that includes what they do to us but excludes what we do to them. That's quite difficult. So it takes a global war on terrorism.
When you take high risks, the rewards are higher. So sometimes I'll gamble just to see what happens. If it doesn't work, I know I can't do that.
I discuss everything with Tanushree no matter which part of the world she is in. She is the reason I make good decisions. She advises me to concentrate and work hard. She keeps telling me that she is proud of me - that makes me content with my work.
