Too many people look on outscoring someone as winning, I never tried to get that across to my players.
One of the greatest motivating factors is the pat on the back, although with some individuals, you have to make the pat a little lower or a little harder.
I don't believe in fate.
You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.
If you do enough small things right, big things can happen
Never lie; never cheat; never steal. Don't whine; don't complain; don't make excuses.
