Win without boasting, lose without excuses - internalize your failures and externalize your victories.

Someone will always be looking at you as an example of how to behave. Don't let him down.

Be the first to say, "Hello".

I never expect to lose. Even when I'm the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech. [Optimism through positive expectations can help to bring about what is desired and makes the wait more enjoyable.]

Remember that just the moment you say, "I give up," someone else seeing the same situation is saying, "My, what a great opportunity."

Believe in miracles but don't depend on them.
