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."

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

Everything that is past is either a learning experience to grow on, a beautiful memory to reflect on, or a motivating factor to act upon.

Decide to be happy, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

When you kill time, you kill your opportunities for success.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.

Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing right now.
