“Strength of will – is essential to your survival and success. The competitor who won’t go away, who won’t stay down, has one of the most formidable competitive advantages of all.”

Your attitude will unlock the mystery of success you seek!

I’m not one of those “omg texting kids rite bad” alarmists. I just think there’s an interesting nexus where the Internet itself hastened language change when it comes to Internet terms.

The proper use of commas is often more art than science.

Consistent motivation usually comes from a consuming desire to be able to perform at your best under pressure, namely, the pressure produced by tough competition.

Afford each person the same respect, support, and fair treatment you would expect if your roles were reversed. Deal with people individually, not as objects who are part of a herd-that’s the critical factor.

By instinct we-leaders-want to run hard all the time; by intellect we know this is not possible. Reconciling those two positions in the context of leadership is an ongoing challenge.

A harsh reality of newspaper editing is that the deadlines don’t allow for the polish that you expect in books or even magazines

Everybody’s got an opinion. Leaders are paid to make a decision. The difference between offering an opinion and making a decision is the difference between working for the leader and being the leader.

Consistent effort is a consistent challenge.

On occasion I omit commas. On occasion, I use them. (The more you know about English, the less you’re likely to think there are unbreakable “rules” for a lot of these things.)

For me the starting point for everything – before strategy, tactics, theories, managing, organizing, philosophy, methodology, talent, or experience – is work ethic. Without one of significant magnitude, you’re dead in the water.

Find a great mentor who believes in you, your life will change forever!

Before you can win the fight, You’ve got to be in the fight.

You can make a point without being personal. Don’t insult or belittle your people. Instead of getting more out of them you will get less

If you see players who hate practice, their coach isn’t doing a very good job.

Psychologists suggest that there is a strong link between ego and competitiveness. All the great performers I’ve ever coached had ego to spare.

If this be an ordered selfishness, then we should pause before we condemn any one for the vice of egoism, for there may be deeper root for its causes than we have knowledge of.

I think your ego gets in the way of making something good because it kind of blinds you from the actual art.

Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other.

Vanity, fear, desire, competition – all such distortions within our own egos – condition our vision of those in relation to us.

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.

I knew the risk. To me, it’s not an ego thing. I enjoy coaching. I enjoy helping people achieve something.

Sexual self-restraint is only a preliminary stage in the ego’s evolution.

The Ego is partly free. partly determined, and reaches fuller freedom by approaching the Individual who is most free: God.
