One of the best mental disciplines for people to implement is simply putting together a schedule or a task list and actually executing it. Write the list or the schedule the night before, and then do what you said you would do. Life becomes much better when you do that.

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.

Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.

In other words, don’t expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say ‚we have a problem, let’s go and get it‘.

I’d be so bored if I wasn’t going out there, knowing that I could still do it. So, I’m going to work hard to be ready to go, and I still plan on playing for a long time.

Whatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality.

When you play sports like tennis, you’re alone, and that’s a good school for life, but it’s also a good school for life to bring your best and make those around you better, too – helping others in difficult moments.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

Anyone can have a good day, but you have to be able to perform on a bad day.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

There’s definitely going to be things that I’m not very good at, things I can improve.

If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.

What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find.
