The true exceptional performer is on super pilot. Every single sense, every fiber of his body is brought together in what he is doing.

You will not do incredible things without an incredible dream.

Thinking is a habit, and like any other habit, it can be changed; it just takes effort and repetition.

Exceptional thinkers ignore their critics and go about their business making history.

What turns ordinary people into overachievers is the way they use their minds when they are called on to perform.

If you really want to find out what you're capable of, you cannot put limits on yourself, and you definitely cannot be cautious.

Stick with your own perception of yourself-living in your own world-and letting your reality, not the reality presented by other people or particular situations, control your performance.

Overachievers don't think reasonably, sensibly, or rationally.

Superstars think like superstars long before the fans or the press anoint them.

Confidence is not a guarantee of success, but a pattern of thinking that will improve your likelihood of success, a tenacious search for ways to make things work.

All of us should be on guard against beliefs that flatter ourselves. At the very least, we should check such beliefs against facts.

Life, with all it's sorrows, cares, perplexities and heart-breaks, is more interesting than bovine placidity, hence more desirable. The more interesting it is, the happier it is.
