When you make a mistake or get ridiculed or rejected, look at mistakes as learning experiences, and ridicule as ignorance. Look at rejection as part of one performance, not as a turn down of the performer.
Expect to succeed even before you start. All winners, no matter what their game, start with the expectations that they are going to succeed. Winners say, "I want to do this and I CAN do this", not "I would like to do this, but I don't think I can."
Highly motivated achievers are looking not to receive but to contribute. They are looking for problems that are personally satisfying to solve.
Never follow the crowd in what you do; the crowd has never produced anything of lasting quality, value or beauty.
Where there is life, there is hope. Where there are hopes, there are dreams. Where there are vivid dreams repeated, they become goals. Goals become the action plans and game plans that winners dwell on in intricate detail, knowing that achievement is almost automatic when the goal becomes an inner commitment. The response to the challenges of life - purpose - is the healing balm that enables each of us to face up to adversity and strife.
The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can't do.
To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.
Luck happens when opportunity encounters the prepared mind.
Life is not accountable to us. We are accountable to life.
You are truly successful when you can extend a strong hand to someone who is reaching out or just trying to hang on.
A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shinning star in whose light others may follow in the years to come.
No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.
Get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.
There never was a winner that didn't expect to win in advance.
Love is a daily, mutual exchange of value.
You must consider the bottom line, but make it integrity before profits.
Winning is coming in fourth, exhausted but excited, because you came in fifth last time.
Happy people plan actions, they don't plan results.
If we succeed without sacrifice, it's because someone sacrificed for us.
People who seek attention, need all the help they can get.
Great individuals make great successes out of failure.
Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.
