Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal achieving.

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."

Winning is all in the attitude!

People who seek attention, need all the help they can get.

Positive self-expectancy is the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a top-achieving, winning human being. Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism: real enthusiasm for everything you do... [while] expecting the most favorable result from your own actions. There never was a winner who didn't expect to win in advance. Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And they know that you usually get what you expect in the long run.

Of all the judgments we make through life, none are more important than the estimate we place on ourselves according to our own internal standards.

No gift can ever replace the value of being there in person.
