When we teach kids to follow the rules, that there’s only one right answer and to avoid mistakes at all costs, we’re resigning them to average.

Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
Excellence is the gradual result of always wanting to do better.
The foundation of excellence lies in self-control.

Good enough never is.
It isn’t hard to be good from time to time in sports. What’s tough is being good every day.
It’s your life, your one and only life – so take excellence very personally.
