Learning what not to do is sometimes more important than learning what to do.

The more you lose, the more positive you have to become. When you're winning, you can ride players harder because their self-esteem is high. If you are losing and you try to be tough, you're asking for dissension.

Set higher standards for your own performance than anyone else around you, and your only competition will be with yourself

Tackle the difficult things first in the morning; make changes in the way you network. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. This stops you from cynicism and negativity. End your day with that same attitude you started. Renew your contract with a day well completed.

Long term success is a direct result of what you achieve everyday. Goals provide your daily routine

The basic premise of my system is to fatigue your opponents with constant pressure defensively and constant movement offensively.

Learning to live in the present tense-one that's free from the failures of the past and the anxieties of the future-is a wonderful gift, and one you always should be striving for.
