We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better.

The better you are at surrounding yourself with people of high potential, the greater your chance for success.

Reaching the top is a monumental achievement, but remaining there may be the most spectacular feat of all.

If we treat people as who they can become, they will be inspired to rise to the level of our expectations.

Your attitude is a choice.

What you give to help others, builds them up enough that they are able to give to others. It's a cycle that can continue on long after you're dead and gone.

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.”
