QUOTATIONS

Well done is better than well said......Ben Franklin

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently"...Henry Ford

"The man who wins may have been counted out several times, but he didn't hear the referee"....H.E. Jansen

Everything comes to him who waits, if he WORKS while he waits.

When you're through improving, you're through.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

You are not learning anything when you're talking, since you are merely repeating what you already know - you learn only by listening.

Your success can and will be just as tremendous as you THINK it can and should be.

"It's not whether you get knocked down. It's whether you get up again"...Vince
     Lombardi

"If you have tried to do something but couldn't, you are far better off than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded"...John Ragland, Jr.

The race is not always won by the fastest runner but sometimes by those who just keep on running.

"You miss 100% of the shots you never take"...Wayne Gretzky

REPUTATION IS ABOUT WHO YOU ARE WHEN PEOPLE ARE WATCHING. CHARACTER IS ABOUT WHO YOU ARE WHEN THERE'S NOBODY IN THE ROOM BUT YOU. THE FORMER CAN INDUCE OTHERS TO THINK WELL OF YOU. BUT ONLY THE LATTER ALLOWS YOU TO THINK WELL OF YOURSELF.

"I CAN ACCEPT FAILURE, BUT I CAN'T ACCEPT NOT TRYING."....
.......Michael Jordan

"WHEN NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP, I GO AND LOOK AT A STONECUTTER HAMMERING AWAY AT HIS ROCK PERHAPS A HUNDRED TIMES WITHOUT AS MUCH AS A CRACK SHOWING IN IT.
YET, AT THE HUNDRED AND FIRST BLOW IT WILL SPLIT IN TWO, AND I KNOW IT WAS NOT THAT BLOW THAT DID IT--BUT ALL THAT HAD GONE BEFORE."
Jacob Riis

Keep shooting the basketball! It will require many more practice shots than a hundred, but sooner or later, you may
have your "hundred and first" shot, and it may be the shot that wins the game!

THE MAN WHO WINS MAY HAVE BEEN COUNTED OUT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT HE DIDN'T HEAR THE REFEREE.
 

Dick Barnett was a player who emphatically demonstrated the virtues of discipline. He played basketball every day of his last three years of high school: 1,095 straight days. Sometimes he played from nine in the morning until midnight. He played basketball while his friends went to the senior prom. BUT HE GOT TO DANCE IN THE NBA! (Excerpted from VALUES OF THE GAME by Bill Bradley.

YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING IN LIFE YOU WANT, IF YOU WILL JUST HELP ENOUGH OTHER PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY WANT.

ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION:  IS MY ATTITUDE WORTH CATCHING?

IF YOU LEARN FROM A DEFEAT, YOU HAVEN'T REALLY LOST.

HAPPINESS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU FIND, BUT RATHER SOMETHING YOU CREATE.

WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN OR THINK YOU CAN'T--YOU ARE RIGHT.

WINNING IS NOT EVERYTHING, BUT THE EFFORT TO WIN IS.

THE BIGGEST FAILURE OF ALL IS THE PERSON WHO NEVER TRIES!
