    “Some of my greatest pleasures have come from finding ways to overcome obstacles.” ~ John Wooden

      “Players with fight never lose a game, they just run out of time.” ~ John Wooden

        “When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Noticer

          “Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round – remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.” ~ James Corbett

            If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

              Ever Tried. Ever Failed. No Matter. Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better. ~ Samuel Beckett

                “Effort is between you, and you, and nobody else. So that team that thinks it’s ready to see you, they think what they’ve seen on film, they ain’t saw what film shows, because every day is a new day. Every moment is a new moment. So now you’ve got to go out and show them that I’m a different creature now, than I was five minutes ago, cause I’m pissed off for greatness. Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.” ~ Ray Lewis, Speech for Stanford Basketball Team

                  “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” ~ Calvin Coolidge

                      “We will either find a way, or make one.” ~ Hannibal

                      Don’t Quit

                        When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

                        When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

                        When the funds are low and the debts are high

                        And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

                        When care is pressing you down a bit,

                        Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

                        Life is queer with its twists and turns,

                        As every one of us sometimes learns,

                        And many a failure turns about

                        When he might have won had he stuck it out;

                        Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–

                        You may succeed with another blow,

                        Success is failure turned inside out–

                        The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

                        And you never can tell how close you are,

                        It may be near when it seems so far;

                        So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–

                        It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

                            “There is nothing, right or wrong, which belief plus burning desire cannot make real.  These qualities are free to everyone.” ~ Napoleon Hill

                              “One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.” ~ Napoleon Hill

                                “The fatigue was there, but some people understood that putting it aside was the single most important factor in succeeding.” ~ Seth Godin, Linchpin

                                  “When you want to be successful as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful!” ~ Eric Thomas

                                    “People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don’t know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.” ~ George E. Allen

                                      “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.” ~ Henry Ford

                                        “Too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful, too determined to be defeated.” ~ Unknown
