Three Beliefs

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best.  If you’re not, pretend you are.
—  Muhammad Ali
Every time I stepped on the field, I believed my team was going to walk off the winner, somehow, some way.
—  Roger Staubach
If you believe in yourself, have dedication and pride and never quit, you’ll be a winner.  The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards.
—  Paul “Bear” Bryant

Finishing Work

Without ambition one starts nothing.  Without work one finishes nothing.  The prize will not be sent to you.  You have to win it.
