Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance.

I just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?

"I kept thinking my father would come back,"
"But he never did." 
- Alex Rodriguez Quote (Mens Vogue, April 2008)

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

I truly believe my job starts the minute I leave the baseball field. Going out and catching ground balls and hitting, that�s a job, and that�s what I�ve wanted to do ever since I was a kid. But when you think about leaving that field, that�s when the job and the demands really start. In New York, Seattle, every city. The community, the media, business stuff. You have to stay on a narrow path.

This is how I define grace: you're on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. That's where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know I'm prepared.

We share a lot of the same interests. We have a lot of similarities, being young shortstops in the league. We share a lot of the same demands on us. I actually admire what he does, how he goes about his business. More importantly, he�s a great player, but he�s a great person as well. The first thing when I wake up in the morning, I check the box score to see how Derek Jeter did. I�ll ask my mom, �How�s Derek doing?� because she�s on the East Coast and whatever. A lot of times when we�re ready to go out on the field, when our game starts, the Yankee game�s always on TV. So I�m there watching him.

Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now.
