Quotations

Just as you can use Affirmations to keep your mental game on track while competing there are many of us who like collecting "inspirational" quotations for everyday life. Below you'll find some of the quotes that I like.

If you have a quote that you think I'd like please feel free to send me an e-mail.

Outlook Outlook
What we see
is determined largely by what we look for
The only limits are those of vision
They can who think they can
Whether you think you can
or can't
you're probably right
The best way to predict your future
is to create it
The best way to make your dreams come true
is to wake up
It's your attitude
and not your aptitude
that determines your altitude."
Don't lose hope -
when it gets darkest the stars come out
It is the darkest hour before dawn
It is amazing how much can be accomplished
when no one cares who gets the credit

Success Success
None of the secrets of success will work unless you do too
You can wrestle with a pig
and both end up covered in mud,
but the pig will enjoy it
Failure is the path of least persistance
If you want people to speak well of you
do not speak well of yourself
Even if you're on the right track,
you'll be run over if you just sit there
The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing
If we keep doing what we've always done
we'll get what we always got
You can't move forward by patting yourself on the back
A Champion Team will beat a team of champions
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf
and the strength of Wolf is the Pack (Rudyard Kipling)
Remember that failure is an event, not a person

Zen Zen

My body knows what to do, but my mind gets in the way (Lucy Giovinco)
The cup is already broken,
that makes the water sweeter now
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Vision without action is a daydream,
action without vision is a nightmare
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
The sun nurtures and vitalises the trees and flowers.
It does so by giving away it's light.
But, in the end, in what direction do they grow?
He who cannot dance should not blame the drummer
What you do speaks so loudly
that I cannot hear what you say

Life Skills Life Skills
Am I not destroying my enemies by making friends of them
(Abraham Lincoln)
What counts
is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight-
it's the size of the fight in the dog.
(Dwight D. Eisenhower)
Noone can make you feel inferior without your consent
(Eleanor Roosevelt)
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight
and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world
(Oscar Wilde)
If you see someone without a smile;
Give them one of yours

From Coaching, by Dave Chambers...

There is no I in the word team
Team: Together Everyone Achieves More
Try to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are
Winners never quit, quitters never win
Winners see what they want to happen, losers see what they want to avoid
A winner goes through a problem, a loser goes round and never past it
A winner credits good luck for winning, even though it isn't luck. A loser blames bad luck for losing even though it isn't luck.

and two more that I heard recently and enjoyed...

A US Army general explaining to the press in the White House why an anti-missile test went wrong...

Well, this IS rocket science

and one that brings home just how dependent we are on the perks of modern life...

At any time we're only four meals away from Anarchy
