If you really want to find out what you're capable of, you cannot put limits on yourself, and you definitely cannot be cautious.

What turns ordinary people into overachievers is the way they use their minds when they are called on to perform.

Genuine confidence is a way of thinking about yourself and your abilities. Confidence is your perception of your own potential; it's a kind of long-term thinking that powers you through the obstacles and tough times, helping you solve problems and putting you in the way of success. Your confidence is quite a separate matter from your social skills.

Confidence is not a guarantee of success, but a pattern of thinking that will improve your likelihood of success, a tenacious search for ways to make things work.

You will not do incredible things without an incredible dream.

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

I have discovered that I cannot enhance anybody's performance without getting them not only to live with the butterflies that come with high-pressure jobs but to embrace that kind of physical response, enjoy it, get into it. That's the first real ticket to being a performer who thinks exceptionally.
