Jocko WillinkWhat the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
Napoleon HillHow many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success.

Steven WrightThe life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?

ConfuciusDaring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheHow great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander the GreatThe Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
Barack ObamaWinning – that’s the most important to me. It’s as simple as that.

Baruch SpinozaThe difference between us and them, between you and success, is not that you never fail, but it’s how you recover from those failures – is that you keep getting up time and time again. You figure out what you did wrong, and then you make it right. I say that to my kids every day.
Michelle ObamaI have to admit I’ve found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I’m pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.
Kurt CobainWe will be more successful in all our endeavors if we can let go of the habit of running all the time, and take little pauses to relax and re-center ourselves. And we’ll also have a lot more joy in living.

Steve JobsPassion for fame: A passion which is the instinct of all great souls.

Brian TracySuccess is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.
Jim RohnMy unpredictability is what separates me. If you move in so many ways, your opponent is not focused on what he’s doing. He’s focusing in on what you’re doing, and it freezes him. When they freeze and you hit, they shatter like glass.
Conor McGregorIn business, the idea of measuring what you are doing, picking the measurements that count like customer satisfaction and performance… you thrive on that.
Bill GatesWinners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.
Lou HoltzI’ve made money, and I’ve been ripped off. I’ve had creative freedom, and I’ve been pressured to make hits. I have dealt with diva behavior from crazy musicians, and I have seen genius records by wonderful artists get completely ignored. I love music. I always will.
David ByrneWinning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.
Ayrton SennaDon’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

Michelle ObamaThe important thing is that your teammates have to know you’re pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.
Kobe BryantBe sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Abraham LincolnWhy do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.
J. K. Rowling
