The Olympics is my favourite sporting event. Although I have a problem with that silver medal. When you think about it, you win the gold - you feel good, you win the bronze - you think, 'Well at least I got something'. But when you win silver, it's like, 'Congratulations, you 'almost' won. Of all the losers, you came in first of that group. You're the number one 'loser.' No one lost ahead of you.
Jerry SeinfeldOne day I was watching these construction workers go back to work. I was watching them kind of trudging down the street. It was like a revelation to me. I realized these guys donโt want to go back to work after lunch. But theyโre going. Thatโs their job. If they can exhibit that level of dedication for that job I should be able to do the same. Trudge your ass in.
Jerry SeinfeldI have a friend who's collecting unemployment insurance. This guy has never worked so hard in his life as he has to keep this thing going. He's down there every week, waiting on the lines and getting interviewed and making up all these lies about looking for jobs. If they had any idea of the effort and energy that he is expending to avoid work, I'm sure they'd give him a raise.
Jerry SeinfeldWe're all trying to get to the same island โ whether you swim, fly, surf, or skydive, it doesn't matter. What matters is when the red light goes on.
