I feel like I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish in college.
All I have to do is play football now.
I can make things happen when plays break down.
I have a lot of doubters. I use that as motivation.
Very few persons go through life without at least one big chance. The fact that so many do not grasp it is due more often to fear than to any other one thing.
I have always noticed that a man who gives the most for the money, gets the most business.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things. You cannot have the success without the failures.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value. [ - worthy of enjoying by knowing it could have been worse.]

There have been many occasions when I found it helpful to talk out loud to my own thoughts, ordering the unwholesome ones to go off somewhere and jump into the river.
