“I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. Failure always made me try harder next time.”

To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.

If I have an agenda or a goal, no one is going to deter me from what I want to do.

Failure makes me work even harder.

There is no “I” in team but there is in win.

Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.

It doesn’t matter if you fall down, it’s whether you get back up.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

Learning is a gift, even when pain is your teacher!

There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles.

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.

Another day, another opportunity to prove everyone who doubts you wrong.

What is love? Love is playing every game as if it’s your last!

Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.

I realize i am black, but id like to be viewed as a person, and that is everybodys wish.

I’ve never lost a game I just ran out of time.

Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you’ll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don’t have a plan. That’s why it’s easy to beat most folks.

When I try, I fail. When I trust, He succeeds.

In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don’t want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.

I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.

Be prepared to ride the cycles and trends of life; success is never permanent, and failure is never final.

Don’t be so bitter about a bad experience from your past that you miss the opportunities in front of you.

Unsuccessful people get up whenever they feel like it and the first thing they do is watch television, read the paper, or check email. The rest of the day is pretty much 50% below maximum performance.

It’s okay to fail; it’s not okay to quit.
