One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be the dominating thought in one’s mind.

Praise in public; criticize in private.

As soon as error is corrected, it is important that the error be forgotten and only the successful attempts be remembered. Errors, mistakes, and humiliations are all necessary steps in the learning process. Once they have served their purpose, they should be forgotten. If we constantly dwell upon the errors, then the error or failure becomes the goal.

Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.

If you cheat yourself in practice, you’ll cheat yourself in a game; and if you cheat in a game, you’ll cheat yourself for the rest of your life.

Mistakes are the necessary steps in the learning process; once they have served their purpose, they should be forgotten and not repeated.

Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.

If you really want something, you can have it if you’re willing to pay the price. And the price means you have to work better and harder than the next guy.

What is defeat? Nothing but education nothing but the first step to getting better.

Want it; desire it; earn it; take it.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Every job is a self portrait of the person who did it… Autograph your work with excellence.

If you can’t get emotional about what you believe in your heart, you’re in the wrong business.

A man on top of the mountain didn’t just fall there.

We know how rough the road will be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track, but we have see our soul ahead upon a certain goal ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back

A team that thinks it’s going to lose is going to lose.

Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!

Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

You defeat defeatism with confidence

You defeat defeatism with confidence.

We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible

Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It’s a state of mind – you could call it character in action

The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince

I’ve never known a man worth his salt who, in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline

There is no substitute for work

When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. In fact, we may even be reckless, insofar as our part in the production is concerned. This confidence, this sureness of action, is both contagious and an aid to the perfect action. The rest is in the hands of God – and this is the same God, gentlemen, who has won all His battles up to now

Once you have established the goals you want and the price you’re willing to pay, you can ignore the minor hurts, the opponent’s pressure and the temporary failures

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off of the goal

If you’ll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives

It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up

Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing — the result

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it.

In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.

Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive, and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.

If you aren’t fired up with enthusiasm, you’ll be fired with enthusiasm

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
