No matter what your current ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.
Carol S. DweckChoosing a partner is choosing a set of problems. There are no problem-free candidates.
Carol S. DweckI believe ability can get you to the top,โ says coach John Wooden, โbut it takes character to keep you there.โฆ Itโs so easy to โฆ begin thinking you can just โturn it onโ automatically, without proper preparation. It takes real character to keep working as hard or even harder once youโre there. When you read about an athlete or team that wins over and over and over, remind yourself, โMore than ability, they have character.'
