Want It More

All of my past successes
have happened,
not because I’m smarter
or more talented
than other people,
but because I work harder
and I want the success more.
I’m shameless
about achieving my concrete goals.

Bill McDermott, co-chief executive of SAP,
shares

(and this is a GREAT interview
– I highly recommend
you read the entire post)

“A lot of people might play the field,
or try to figure out what they want.
But I knew exactly what I wanted.

Second, you’ve got to want it more.
If you want something badly enough,
everybody around you can see the passion.
And people will make bold bets
on people who have an unwavering passion
to succeed or a passion to do something.

I think that can get totally missed
in the world of academia,
but that’s the real world.”

Want your vision of success MORE.
