Success is a personal matter - only you as an individual can tell if you did everything within your power to give your best effort

With the experience to judge, one need not pre-judge.

Goals should be difficult to achieve because those achieved with little effort are seldom appreciated, give little personal satisfaction, and are often not very worthwhile. There is a price to be paid for achieving anything of significance.

You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.

A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group - that's teamwork.

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

You must be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way.
