My assistants and I often would spend more time planning a practice than the actual practice itself

Acquire peace of mind by making the effort to become the best of which you are capable.

No one is an overachiever. How can you rise above your level of competency? Everyone is an underachiever to different degrees. The harder you work, the more luck you will have.

You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better.

I do not judge success based on championships; rather, I judge it on how close we came to realizing our potential

Being yourself; not acting. You therefore can function near your own level of competence. Satisfy you own expectations rather than those of others.

Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
