Choose a quote bank: Michael Jordan The Winners Manual Other Michael Jordan Quotes:Winners Manual Quotes: Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else. Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think. The great danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. Excellence is the gradual result of always wanting to do better. To be what we are, and to be what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their minds by altering their attitues of mind Progress always involves risk; you can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first. Why not go out on a limb? Isn’t that where the fruit is? Most people are about as happy as they make their minds to be Paradise is where I am I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. The empires of the future are the empires of the mind Spending a little time calculating the number of things that go right is a simple but powerful way to reactivate our sense of wonder and gratitude It is impossible to be grateful and unhappy at the same time No race can prosper until it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as there is in writing a poem If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies within yourself Earth produces nothing worse than an ungrateful man We each have a choice: to approach life as a creator or a critic, a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker. Nothing is worth more than this day Your life is either a celebration or a chore. The choice is yours. If we were humble nothing would change us- neither praise nor discouragement Humility precedes honor Graveyards are full of irreplaceable men With humility comes wisdom Let your heart be awakened to the transforming power of gratefulness Flaming enthusiasm, backed by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success. None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm Attitude is the minds paintbrush. Create a masterpeice. A little spark kindles a great fire It is not enough to get things done; they must be done right. Those who work the hardest, who subject themselves to the strictest discipline, who give up certain pleasurable things in order to achieve a goal, are the happiest Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. Improving yourself is the best way to help your team A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else Only a fool despises discipline, whoever learns from correction is wise Self-discipline is when you tell yourself to do something and you don’t talk back You have to have confidence in your ability and be tough enough to follow through It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through The only thing a player can control at golf is his own game; so distraction about what other competitors may or may not be doing is both a useless distraction and a waste of energy Now is everything you have to work with. When you live it fully, it is more than enough. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal The man who succeeds above his fellows is the man who early in life discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his power The quality of a persons life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor Excellence is not an act…but a habit. Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best. It isn’t hard to be good from time to time in sports. What’s tough is being good every day. Only those who have patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skills to do difficult things easily. The foundation of excellence lies in self-control Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort. If you can’t win, make the fellow ahead of you break the record A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for? Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. The hallmark of excellence, the test of greatness, is consistency. If you heed your fears, you’ll die never knowing what a great person you might have been. Be courageous! Have faith! Go forward! Faith doesn’t mean the absence of fear. It means having the energy to go ahead, right along side the fear. Champions believe in themselves even if no one else does I think when you move past your fear and you go after your dreams whole- heartedly, you become free. Know what I’m saying? Move past the fear. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams To disbelieve is easy; to scoff is simple; to have faith is harder. Faith is believing what we do not see. The reward of faith is to see what we believe We are only beaten when we cease to believe what we can be Nobody will believe in you unless you believe in yourself There can be no progress if people have no faith in tomorrow All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark Our doubts are traitors. And make us lose the good we oft might win. By fearing to attempt. I’ve read that I flew up the mountains and hills of France. But you don’t fly up a hill. You struggle painfully and slowly up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else Success does’nt come to you….you go to it. Work is love made visible Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get runover if you just sit there Coaches and players can say anythingthey want, but if they don’t back it up with their performance and hard work, the talking doesn’t mean a thing Stopping a piece of work just because it’s hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don’t feel like it Success is the intersection where dreams and hard work meet Whatever you do, don’t do it halfway Passion makes every detail important Whatever you do, do it passionately. Failure is an event not a person. Every obstacle presents an opportunity…if you’re looking for it. Relax! You only fail when you quit. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing One man with courage makes a majority You never plow a field by turning it over in your mind I hated every minute of trianing, but I said, “Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.” The secret is this; Strength lies solely in tenacity. Everyone has a plan until they are hit Opportunity is missed by most people because it’s dressed in overalls With champions, success is never unexpected; it’s a natural result that comes from continuous, unselfish, unrelenting determination to win; never letting down, never letting outside influences into the game Great character is the cumulative result when great pain and great disappointment intersect in a man with a teachable spirit Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall There is no education like adversity Success is a lousy teacher. It make smart people think they can’t lose A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trails There is no strength where there is no struggle It is a rough road that leads to heights of greatness Face adversity promptly and without flinching, and you will reduce its impact. Never run from anything and never ever quit The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it In attacking adversity, only a positive attitude, alertness, and regrouping to basics can launch a comeback. The toughest thing about being a success is that you have got to keep being a success. Be kind to one another, because most of us are fighting a hard battle Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others? Concern for man and his fate must form the chief interest of all technical endevours…Never forget that in the midst of your diagrams and equations. Love cures all people- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it True love will find an outlet in sevice When we come face to face with God, we are going to be judged on how much we loved Commitment is the key to every relationship All I ask is that you play better than you are They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care When you help someone up a hill, you get that much closer to the top yourself The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving When in doubt, tell the truth Even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right. The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company. The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience Honor is better than honors Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone expects of you. Never excuse yourself There is a choice you have to make in everything you do. So keep in mind that in the end, The choice you make, makes you. Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility. It takes less time to do the right thing than to explain why you did it wrong Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish You can’t slice up morals Try to forget yourself in the sevice of others. For when we think too much of ourselves and our own interests, we easily become despondent. But when we work for others, our efforts return to bless us. Unity is the great need of the hour, and if we are united we can get many of the things that we not only desire but which we truly deserve The nicest thing about teamwork is that you always have others on your side You don’t get the breaks unless you play with the team instead of against it Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is a process; working together is success Either we’re pulling together or we’re pulling apart. There’s really no in-between When your organization operates like a strong family, you can’t be knocked out by one punch There is no delight in owning anything unshared A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in a time of need Teamwork is a constant balancing act between self-interest and group interest Live in your hopes and not in your fears There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn’t permanent. The human body experiences a powerful gravitational pull in the direction of hope Learning is discovering that something is possible Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier Hope is one of the principal springs that keps mankind in motion Hope is an adventure, a going forward, a confident search for a rewarding life If there were not hope the heart would break Hope is one of those things in life you cannot do without I know the plans I have for you…They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me brave in the attempt! I’ve got things ot do with my life Keep your eye on your heroes, not on your zeroes. Together everyone achieves more JR & TR Quotes: You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. Keep a Journal, you cant afford not to. Income seldom exceeds personal development. You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight. Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals. If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much. If you don’t like how things are, change it!
