Just Amazed

I say to my players, "What is the hardest thing to achieve in life?" I think one of the hardest things you can do is to work hard all your life. I don't think that's easy. I say to them, "Look at me: have I changed? Am I still as hungry as I was ten years ago when you first came to me as young kids?" The answer is yes. So if I don't change, does that not tell you something that is nice? Which is that working hard is actually good for you.
I hear that people want to retire at 50 or 55 and I can't believe that. What are they going to do with their lives? Sit in the house and read the paper or twiddle their thumbs when there's a world out there that you should be working for?
It's great to get up early. I'm up early every morning and I've got a whole day to enjoy. I try to get it across to my players that working hard is a quality. People think it's an easy things to be able to say, "He works hard, right enough; he's enthusiastic, right enough", but it's not. It's hard to be that way all the time.' Quote Alex Ferguson
