“Critics only speak up when they see someone shining. Average work doesn’t threaten them.”

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.

The way you begin each day defines how you’ll live each day.

The true value of a big dream is who you must grow into to live that dream.

Your life is a mirror. Life gives us not what we want. Life gives us who we are.

Until our mission becomes our obsession, we’ll be chained to the realm of average.

See your life as a giant adventure. Keep pushing the envelope, and remember that every dream starts off small.

Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.

There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.

The real reward for doing your best work is not the money you make but the leader you become.

It’s amazing how far you will get by just staying with something long enough. Most people give up too early.

Only those who seek shall find.

Less gossiping, more learning. Less complaining, more excelling. Less walls, more bridges. Less fear, more courage.

We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.

The activity you’re most avoiding contains your biggest opportunity.

Nothing works unless you do the work.

To have what few have, do what few do.

When I played in a 21-team league, there were six or seven goalies who were just average, and the equipment and pads were smaller. I came in the right era. I played for the right team. It was all speed, and creativity and imagination.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

The only thing that scares me more than standing out is not standing out at all.

Everything about mediocrity kills me.

If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.

In some cases, you have been lending out your love to those that are used to taking in something ordinary or average, extraordinary and extraterrestrial would always be too much to handle.

Show me a man of average ability but extraordinary desire and I will show you a winner everytime.
