When you make a commitment, you create hope. When you keep a commitment you create trust!

When I was 17, I made the decision to have a good attitude. I was a junior in high school; the coach said I was going to be the captain of my basketball team. I thought – that surprised me because I wasn’t the best player. John Thomas was better than me, and I was probably second or third best player. And I kept thinking, “Why am I going to be the captain?” I think everybody else was thinking that too. And the coach then answered, “The reason John is going to be the captain is he has the best attitude on the team. He encourages others, he believes we can win, he never gives up.”

With a little faith in themselves people, people can do miraculous things. But without it, they have a really tough time.

Positive thinking must be followed by positive doing.

While a good leader sustains momentum, a great leader increases it.

If you want to keep giving you have to keep growing.

Once our minds are 'tattooed' with negative thinking, our chances for long-term success diminish.
