Pay close attention to detail in whatever it is you are doing. Be specific and expect quality from your performance.

Your friends may influence your decisions even more than your parents will.

Always work harder than other people are willing to work. Sweat more, endure more pain, and then reap the rewards of success and achievement.

Don't just reach for the stars. Grab a hold of one, grasp it tightly, and pull it into your heart and soul.

Whether you know it or not, you are a role model for somebody. Watch what you say and know that you're responsible for your actions.

Don't be afraid to show emotion. Get excited, get angry, get motivated, laugh, cry, yell, and vent. You will feel so much better after a great release.

Some of us are fortunate enough to have known what we wanted to be since the day we were born.
