"When you have something in life that..." - Quote by Mike Tyson
When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness…I’ve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.

“It's good to be successful and have financial status but if you're only gonna live for the money, you're only gonna reach a certain status and I'm in there for greatness and peace of mind.”
“Sometimes, the people we invest the most time in disappoint us the most.”
“People are going to say what they say. I know sometimes I say things; I offend people.”
More on Sacrifice
“I would not flinch from sacrificing even a million lives for India's liberty.”
“Who saves his country violates no law.”
“Or if the hypothesis were offered us of a world in which Messrs. Fourier's and Bellamy's and Morris's Utopias should all be outdone, and millions kept permanently happy on the one simple condition that a certain lost soul on the far-off edge of things should lead a life of lonely torment, what except a specifical and independent sort of emotion can it be which would make us immediately feel, even though an impulse arose within us to clutch at the happiness so offered, how hideous a thing would be its enjoyment when deliberately accepted as the fruit of such a bargain?”
More on Goals
“You can only accomplish what I really love. Do not take the money as a goal. Instead, pursue the things you passionate about, and do good to others can not take my eyes off you”
“Perseverance in object, though not by the most direct way, is often more laudable than perpetual changes, as often as the object shifts light.”
“The goal has its importance. But the doing is what is truly fulfilling. Every enthusiastic person has a goal that may be important, but the doing is intensely fulfilling, and it is the essence of enthusiasm.”
