The confidence you need is belief in your potential. If you see world-class potential in yourself, you'll put in the effort. If you don't see the potential, you won't put in the effort and you'll wait for the performance, and the performance always follows the belief in self.

By focusing on positive, healthy motivations and letting the more negative ones pass, you can purify the source of you imaginative power.

Positive self-esteem is the quality of simply saying thank you and accepting any value that is attributed to you by others.

Expect the best; convert problems into opportunities; be dissatisfied with the status quo; focus on where you want to go, instead of where you're coming from; and most importantly, decide to be happy, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

One person's ceiling is another person's floor.

Habits are like submarines; they run silent and deep.

Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success.
