Discipline is the only sure way I know to convince people to believe in themselves
The person, the student, the athlete, all are considered equal.
See yourself as self employed.
There is nothing wrong with having competitive instincts. They are survival instincts.
I'm interested to see where a combination of faith and science will take me.
I hate to sound this way but, 'Why me? Why me with dementia?'
Nine-tenths of discipline is having the patience to do things right.
Our emphasis is on execution, not winning.
I didn't say a lot. I didn't throw anything. That's not my style. I did think about it though.
Losing strengthens you. It reveals your weaknesses so you can fix them
If it doesn't bother you, it won't bother them.
The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.
Know your strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
If I aint happy, nobody's happy.
