If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time.

Do your homework and know your business better than anyone. Otherwise, someone who knows more and works harder will kick your ass.

The NBA is never just a business. It's always business. It's always personal. All good businesses are personal. The best businesses are very personal.

It's not whether the glass is half empty or half full, it's who is pouring the water. The key in business and success at any endeavor is doing your best to control your destiny. You can't always do it, but you have to take every opportunity you can to be as prepared as-and ahead of-the competition as you possibly can be.

I just started a business called HDNet. There never is one area that has a door open to everyone. Try to find an area with something you love to do and do it. It's a lot easier to work hard and prepare when you love what you are doing.

The only thing any entrepreneur, salesperson or anyone in any position can control is their effort.

Doesn't matter if the glass is half-empty or half-full. All that matters is that you are the one pouring the water.
