It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication." - Roger Staubach "Develop the winning edge; small differences in your performance can lead to large differences in your results." - Brian Tracy Just as some plants bear fruit only if they don't shoot up

The Zurich Axioms "To win without risk is to triumph without glory." Pierre Corneille "Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you.
Put them on the defensive. And don't ever apologize for anything." Harry
S. Truman "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an
optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." "It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery "Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger.... For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs we endure help us in our marching onward."

Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton Only through focus can you do world-class things, no matter how capable you are. - Bill Gates "Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for
with ardor and attended to with diligence." Abigail Adams "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." - Theodore Roosevelt "The fundamental demand for a first-rate Go player, or any other athlete, is to strive for excellence in order to obtain the crown of performance. In competition it is usually imperative for the competitor to maintain a purely contestative state of mind, with his mind undisturbed and concentrated on the fight. A player must aim high, keep improving and perfecting his skills; in a word, he must surpass his limits. This is also required of the promising younger generation of crack players who have made remarkable achievements in order to meet the challenge from his opponent with open and magnanimous mind.

Christopher Reeve "Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible." - Victor Frankl Impossible. The word itself tells: I m possible. -
Unknown Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way. - Abraham Lincoln I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything he's got. Walter Cronkite The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the indispensable prerequisite for success. - Brian Tracy Rowing harder doesn't help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction. - Kenichi Ohmae The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital. - Joe Paterno Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Slim Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount. - Clare Booth Luce "If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has talent and only uses half of it, he has partly failed. If he has talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded and won satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know." - Thomas Wolfe "I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen." - Frank Lloyd Wright
