Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.
