The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

Skills are built not born.

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.
