The Power of Attitude
“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst… a spark that creates extraordinary results.”
The Power of a Leader
“True leaders are not those who strive to be first but those who are first to strive and who give their all for the success of the team. True leaders are first to see the need, envision the plan, and empower the team for action. By the strength of the leader’s commitment, the power of the team is unleashed.”
The Essence of Teamwork
“Teamwork means that we share a common ideal and embrace a common goal. Regardless of our differences, we strive shoulder to shoulder, confident in one another’s faith, trust and commitment. In the end, teamwork can be summed up in five short words… we believe in each other.”
Excellence
“Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible.”
The Foundation of Excellence
“Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast… and one day you will build something that endures; something worthy of your potential.”
Believe & Succeed
“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’”
Integrity
“Wisdom is knowing what path to take next… integrity is taking it.”
Attitude
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”
Success
- Some people dream of success… while others wake up and work hard at it.
- Success is a journey, not a destination.
- Success is what happens when preparation meets with opportunity.
Point-Scoring
“Point making transition is an attitude. The attitude is that if we create or the opponent gives us the opportunity to score, we will, with maximum impact.”
