"Being competitive is a choice. It is not an easy choice, but it is one that will separate you from the ordinary. It is easy to be average. Competitors don't want anything to do with average."

"I know no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds."

"Respect the old when you are young.

Help the weak when you are strong.

Confess the fault when you are wrong.

Because one day in life you will be OLD, WEAK, and WRONG."

"Ships don't SINK because of the water AROUND them.

Ships SINK because of the water that get IN them. 

Don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down."

"The greatest gift you can give someone is your TIME. 

Because when you give your time, you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back."

"ABILITY

is what you are capable of doing.

MOTIVATION

determines what you do.

ATTITUDE

determines how well you do it."
