When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren't the people who are motivated, but have consistency in their motivation.
Maintain that motivation to go from A to B and to keep your focus on that target without any weakening. That is called tenacity; stamina in your motivation.
For me, motivation is a person who has the capability to recruit the resources he needs to achieve a goal.
The communist model does not work economically, we all realised that, but the capitalist model in the modern world also looks to be unsustainable.
A manager is a guide. He takes a group of people and says, 'With you I can make us a success; I can show you the way.'
I believe in work, in connections between the players, I think what makes football great is that it is a team sport. You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players. It is the team ethic that interests me, always.
Some are wrong because they are not strong enough to fight temptation and some some are wrong because they do not know.
I think in the future we need to look at our youth department to provide more players for the first team think it is important for a club to have a good amount of players that have roots with the club and region.
I think generally the Japanese players have more intensity in practice but generally I do the same things.
Of course, we also have the responsibility to win games and the difficulty in the job is to combine both.
We didn't think he would play on Sunday because he was suspended - that makes me think he has all the qualities to join Arsenal!
People who work make the world live better and to reward these people well is normal. Yet they are not the people who are the wealthiest.
English players are as easy to coach. The problem is that the Premier League has the best players in the world, and statistically not all of them can be born in England. But we don't have enough English players: we are working very hard on it.
Private life is private life. Off the pitch, there is private life, and the rest is social life, where of course you have to behave responsibly.
In some ways England is more liberal than France, but I also find it more intrusive. But when you go abroad you have to accept the ways of where you live. I have to respect that.
The best football players in the world still earn very little money compared to people who really earn money.
In a competitive world, not everybody can follow the pace; you will leave people out. We now accept that we must take care of these people. You cannot let them die in the streets; people will not accept it. And that is right, too.
If you have the money and you find the one player who can make you win and make the difference, no matter how expensive he is, you should do it. But there are not many players in the world who will make a real difference.
As a club, we have an educational purpose: to give back to those people who love Arsenal so that they learn moral values from our game and how we behave.
My target is to make the players as rich as possible within the financial constraints of the club. My target is not to give them less money. I'm happy to make them rich.

I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art. When you read some books they are fantastic, the writer touches something in you that you know you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point of living? What makes daily life interesting is that we try to transform it to something that is close to art.Collection: Art
