Do not get so concerned with making a living that you forget to make a life.
Character is more important than any other leadership trait.
Good players can take coaching; great players can take coaching and learn.
Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.
Be quick, but don't hurry.
Worry about your character, not your reputation. Your character is who you are, and your reputetion is who people think you re.
