Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.

Winners don't just learn the fundamentals, they master them. You have to monitor your fundamentals constantly because the only thing that changes will be your attention to them.

Isn't (life) all about trying?

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

Not every flying hero has a cape.

Ultimately, if you can say that I'm a bad owner and we're winning championships, I can live with that. But if we're not making the playoffs and we're spending and losing money, then I have to look in the mirror and say maybe I'm not taking the necessary steps to doing what it takes to run an organization.

Excellence isn't a one-week or one-year ideal. It's a constant.
