Attitude is a choice. Think positive thoughts daily. Believe in yourself.

No one feels strong when she examines her own weakness. But in facing weakness, you learn how much there is in you, and you find real strength.

Offense sells tickets, defense wins games, rebounding wins championships.

Discipline helps you finish a job, and finishing is what separates excellent work from average work.

To me, teamwork is a lot like being part of a family. It comes with obligations, entanglements, headaches, and quarrels. But the rewards are worth the cost.

Attitude lies somewhere between emotion and logic. It's that curious mix of optimism and determination that enables you to maintain a positive outlook and to continue plodding in the face of the most adverse circumstances.

There is always someone better than you. Whatever it is that you do for a living, chances are, you will run into a situation in which you are not as talented as the person next to you. That's when being a competitor can make a difference in your fortunes.
