High achievers dwell on what they do well and spend very little time evaluating themselves and their performances.

Perfectionism is simply putting a limit on your future. When you have an idea of perfect in your mind, you open the door to constantly comparing what you have now with what you want. That type of self criticism is significantly deterring.

The physical symptoms of fight or flight are what the human body has learned over thousands of years to operate efficiently and at the highest level...anxiety is a cognitive interpretation of that physical response.

We must not sit down and wait for miracles. Up and be going!

Overachievers don't think reasonably, sensibly, or rationally.

The true exceptional performer is on super pilot. Every single sense, every fiber of his body is brought together in what he is doing.

Exceptional thinkers ignore their critics and go about their business making history.
