early life

Famous quotes

“I didn’t need to win and winning wasn’t important to me. Being world champion wasn’t important to me. What was important to me was entertaining the audience and whether that meant winning, losing, singing or whatever in the live show that we did every week, I was there.”

“Be the person where, when your feet hit the ground in the morning, the devil says, ‘Oh shit! He is awake.'”

“Success isn’t always about size, it’s about consistency. Consistent, hard work creates success. Greatness comes with time.”

tips for success

One of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s most well-known success tips is that people should always commit to making a change when they’re feeling down. As an example, he cites the fact that in 1995 he had only seven dollars left in his wallet, but he always knew that it would soon be more. However, in order to put this into practice, people should always know that they are in control of everything in their lives and so, with the right focus and effort, they can also control their success. However, it does not help to “knock on the door of opportunity, but to enter it and imagine it”. However, no one should expect success to happen overnight. According to The Rock, making one piece better than the last is a good start each day.
