How do I change?
If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labour.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.
-Og Mandino, “The Greatest Salesman in the World”
Basketball Quote
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.
I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. . .Failure always made me try harder next time.
-Michael Jordan

The "5 C's of Leadership" are:
. Character -- your internal makeup, your personal DNA. To develop a stronger sense of character, get to know yourself - assess, evaluate and correct.
. Capacity -- your mental ability to conceive or perceive. Internalize and lead a concept until it is expressed through your vision. The company's results are your feedback.
. Credibility -- your personal integrity, a mirror of your actions as opposed to words.
. Courage -- the inner strength required to overcome obstacles and move your business toward your vision.
. Communication -- the ability to translate your vision into actions.
