I'm a better writer now because I've worked very hard at getting better. My long-range goal will always be to write better books.
The goal is always about the next story. It's always about the thing I haven't done before. It's about learning, or it's about becoming better, and it's about whatever story grabs hold of me.
I was always in bands before, but on 'American Idol,' it was about getting my voice out there. It was always my goal, though, to get a band together again.
Two things have always been true about human beings. One, the world is always getting better. Two, the people living at that time think it's getting worse.
My life's goal is not to write books; my life's goal is to know God better today. The neat thing about a goal like that is you can achieve it. Faith is constant; it's a relationship.
My ambition was to become the best climber and I never did. I think that goal was a wrong goal. A better one is to put more emphasis on enjoyment and on getting a rounded experience and on things like friendship, rather than on sheer achievement.
For illegal robocallers, the goal isn't always getting you to answer. Sometimes, it's getting you to call back.
Myself, I always tell people that if you're not getting better you're only getting worse, and every day I try and be better than yesterday.
I never thought about success. I always thought about doing the job at hand. My goal was getting through the show that night.
Throughout my athletic career, the overall goal was always to be a better athlete than I was at the moment – whether next week, next month or next year. The improvement was the goal. The medal was simply the ultimate reward for achieving that goal.
It's not always about getting better on the basketball court. This game teaches you how to become a better person as well. It pushes you into the team concept.
I'm not going to say I know a ton about what I'm looking at, but I enjoy capturing the photos and the artistry of it. I'm getting better at it, and I'll keep getting better.
The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a Hollywood star. That was not the goal. The goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but I knew where it was.
My goal, as always, is simply to inform the public about an issue that is nearly impossible for them to learn about on their own. That is my only goal as a reporter.
If I'm to accomplish my goal of being the world champion I've got to be better; so every day I come in here with a goal, and that's to get better.
I look at all my projects as a stair step to the next. My goal is to always get better and better.
