Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.

One way to overcome our natural self-centeredness is to try to see things from other people's perspectives.

Good attitudes among players do not guarantee a team's success, but bad attitudes guarantee it's failure.

Most people use two totally different sets of criteria for judging themselves versus others. We tend to judge others according to their actions. It's very cut-and-dried. However, we judge ourselves by our intentions. Even if we do the wrong thing, if we believe our motives were good, we let ourselves off the hook. And we are often willing to do that over and over before requiring ourselves to change.

We cannot accomplish as much as we think we can in one day and we can accomplish more than we think we can in a year. Isn't that true?

People are training for success when they should be training for failure.

If you want to make a positive impact, no matter how far-reaching, start at home. Treat your family members like treasures.
