Until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I
made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise."
Only when you have the self-awareness to examine your program-and the imagination and conscience
to create a new, unique, principle-centered program to which you can "yes" -only then will you have sufficient independent
will power to say "no", with a genuine smile, to the unimportant.
Excellence is never an accident! It is always the result of high intention, determined
effort, and skilled execution.
Scorn mediocrity. Embrace excellence!
You cannot correct a behavior in another until you have corrected it in yourself.
Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel.
As iron sharpens iron, so man sharpens man. Proverbs 27:17
Nothing is so potent as the silent influence of a good example. (Who is watching you?)
You can't be successful with other people if you haven't paid the price
of success with yourself.
An expert at anything was once a beginner.
You pay a price for getting stronger,
You pay a price for getting
faster,
You pay a price for jumping higher,
You pay a price for staying the same.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small
people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. -Mark Twain.
Success stops when you do. Keep moving!
Winners don't dwell on past mistakes. They learn from the experience
and move on with new spirit and resolve.
If you are doing your best,
you will not have to worry about failure.
A winner is someone who talks himself out of his excuses.
You can't hire someone to
practice for you.
Winners do what losers don't
want to do.
Hold yourself responsible
to a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. ~Henry Ward Beecher
