George Lucas Wisdom

Hi, I was revamping my profile page and went overboard with the favourite quotes!

Here's some really interesting quotes from one of my personal heroes:

George Lucas Wisdom:
“Luke, there is no try, there is either do or not do.” GL
"Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is." GL
"You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead. " GL
"Part of the issue of achievement is to be able to set realistic goals, but that's one of the hardest things to do because you don't always know exactly where you're going, and you shouldn't." GL
"A lot of people like to do certain things, but they’re not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at." GL
"Any society begins by realizing that together, by helping each other, you can survive better than if you fight each other and compete with each other. We have the tendency to lose it when we forget that, as a group, we are stronger than we are as individuals." GL
"Working hard is very important. You're not going to get anywhere without working extremely hard. " GL
"I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God’s bidding." GL
"The secret is not to give up hope. It’s very hard not to because if you’re really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side. You just have to hang in through that." GL
"Suddenly everything came together in one place. All my likes, everything I actually seemed to have talent for was right there." GL
"My first six years in the business were hopeless. There are a lot of times when you sit and you say ‘Why am I doing this? I’ll never make it. It’s just not going to happen. I should go out and get a real job and try to survive’." GL
"You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. Otherwise, you’ll stop at the first giant hurdle." GL
"Once I started in that department, I found what it was that I loved and was good at. And I realized I could do it very well, and that I enjoyed doing it. It really ignited a passion in me, and it took off from there." GL
"If I got a job, I would help somebody else get a job. If somebody got more successful than me, it was partly my success. My success wasn’t based on how I could push down everyone around me. My success was based on how much I could push everybody up… And in the process they pushed me up, and I pushed them up, and we kept doing that, and we still do that." GL
"I had a different life planned out for me. But then, you know, I had that story sitting there." GL
"I’ve seen again a lot of people go through this life, who are working so hard, they wake up one day and realize that those things that they said, ‘I’ll do that someday, I’ll do that someday’, well, that someday is today." GL
