The kind of commitment I find among the best performers across virtually every field is a single-minded passion for what they do, an unwavering desire for excellence in the way they think and the way they work. Genuine confidence is what launches you out of bed in the morning, and through your day with a spring in your step.

Those who build and perpetuate mediocrity...are motivated more by the fear of being left behind.

The only mistakes you can learn from are the ones you survive.

People need BHAGs - big hairy audacious goals.

You can't manufacture passion or "motivate" people to feel passionate. You can only discover what ignites your passion and the passions of those around you.

Not all time in life is equal. How many opportunities do you get to talk about what your life is going to add up to with people thinking about the same question?

Resilency, not perfection, is the signature of greatness.
