10 " The fact of the matter is that people who have a strong desire to win, to be the best at what they do, are more likely to reach their full potential than someone who says, “I don’t care if I win or lose, I just want to get better. "
11 " Intention is powerful because it addresses the question of why? Why are you getting up early to work out? Why are you staying late at work to checkup on your employees?

13 " In order for us to maximize our abilities, we must also be in an optimal mental state.

15 " He is able who thinks he is able. – Buddha "
16 " The worst advice you can give someone who is trying to be successful is to be careful. It decreases creativity and risk taking and deters performance. "
