Commitment separates those who live their dreams from those who live their lives regretting the opportunities they have squandered.
Bill RussellSuccess is a result of consistent practice of winning skills and actions. There is nothing miraculous about the process. There is no luck involved.
Bill RussellI don't have very many regrets, not because I lived a perfect life but because life is a bunch of rolling hills, not mountains, or speed bumps instead of stop signs, and so you come to a situation and it's neither good or bad, it just is, and what it means to you is what's your take on it. But the second part of the equation is what are you going to do about it. A lot of times I'm completely wrong, but all you do is back up and start over.

Bill RussellI've been fortunate to meet and work with a lot of really smart people. The thing that strikes me most about them is how they continue to explore and learn every day. I have tried to apply that approach in my modest career as well.
Bill RussellTo me, the most important part of winning is joy. You can win without joy, but winning thatโs joyless is like eating in a four-star restaurant when youโre not hungry. Joy is a current of energy in your body, like chlorophyll or sunlight, that fills you up and makes you naturally want to do your best.
