“My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.”

Nothing of value comes without being earned.

A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.

If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit!

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates.

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

People ask me if I could fly, I said, yeah – for a little while.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

Live the moment for the moment.

Obstacles don’t have to stop you.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail.

I’m a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can’t see any other way of accomplishing anything.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

Anything can happen if you are willing to put in the work and remain open to the possibility. Dreams are realized by effort, determination, passion and staying connected to that sense of who you are.

When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness I’ve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.

We as women should shine light on our accomplishments and not feel egotistical when we do. It’s a way to let the world know that we as women can accomplish great things!

These books ain’t window dressing. I think Machiavelli’s the most sophisticated writer outside of Shakespeare. Way ahead of his time. Such a manipulative person. Everything he accomplished he did by kissin’ ass.

So if you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other persons will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.

I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I’m living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.

First you train the followers to accomplish the mission. Second, you resource them: Make sure that they have the tools to do the job. Third, you reward them: You give them medals or bonuses.

I try to only commit myself to things that I think I can accomplish and commit myself to 100 percent. I try not to bite off more than I can chew.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
