When it's over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best you were capable of? If yes, you will probably be ok with the outcome
Details create success.
You better play together as a team or you sit.
Show me what you can do; don't tell me what you can do.
Constantly be aware and observing. Always seek to improve yourself and the team.
Never let your emotions overrule your head.
The most powerful leadership tool you have is your personal example.
Ten strong horses could not pull an empty baby carriage if they worked independently of each other.
Be more interested in character than reputation
Nobody is defeated until he starts blaming somebody else. My advice to you is don't fix the blame. Fix the problem.
Too often we get distracted by what is outside of our control. You can't do anything about yesterday. The door to the past has been shut and the key thrown away. You can do nothing about tomorrow. It is yet to come. However, tomorrow is in large part determined by what you do today. So make today a masterpiece. You have control over that.
There are no big things, only a logical accumulation of little things done at a very high standard of performance.
Never be thrown off stride in how you behave or what you believe in because of outside events.
Acquire peace of mind by making the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
