There is only one kind of failure I cannot tolerate: the failure to risk failure.

What drives me? In every mission I'm on, the thing that drives me most is the desire to find my limits-and extend them.

Change hurts. It makes people insecure, confused, and angry. People want things to be the same as they've always been, because that makes life easier. But, if you're a leader, you can't let your people hang on to the past.

For the past weeks I'd been reacting. That was no way to win. To win, you take the initiative. You instigate the action. You make the opponent react to you.

I don't follow the thought; "Winning is not important, playing the game is". If that is in fact true; then why do we keep score??

Have character, but don't be a character.

The more thou sweateth in training, the less thou bleedeth in combat.
