Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

Being your best when your best is needed. The ability to enjoy challenges when things become difficult and to derive exhilaration from them.

Enthusiasm brushes off upon those with whom you come in contact.

Make each day a masterpiece. Don't think your best days are out there somewhere. Why not today? Why can't today be a great day? It can if you believe it will.

Remember this your lifetime through: Tomorrow there will be more to do. And failure waits for all who stay With some success made yesterday. Tomorrow you must try once more, And even harder than before.

I discovered early on that the player who learned the fundamentals of basketball is going to have a much better chance of succeeding and rising through the levels of competition than the player who was content to do things his own way. A player should be interested in learning why things are done a certain way. The reasons behind the teaching often go a long way to helping develop the skill.

Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others.
