• Success is always a moving target. It’s never taken for granted.
• Always try to look forward, rather than worrying about why you got into a bad situation.
• Self-belief comes with winning. If you have not won before, you can’t know when you are winning (even if you are at its doorstep). Champions always think about how to win, even from a loosing position.
• Let go of out dated things if needed, even if they are very popular.
• No matter how successful you are, to keep winning never let go off your work ethics. Be focused.
• Concentrate more on what you are doing, than what your rivals are doing.
• Always believe that you can win. Always have hope, even after a bad day or phase.
• Have an aura, don’t allow your rivals to believe that they have a chance.
• Aim to win every session, every day, not just every long term goal.
• Give equal importance to the smallest of things, as much as bigger things.
• Your body language speaks a lot. Don’t give rivals a chance to think that they have an edge.
• Have a calm mind and violent body. The reverse won’t work.
• Leave baggage of your past behind and put aside the anxiety of future.
• Winners visualise the rewards of success, losers visualise the penalties of failure.
• Zip your lip, in some cases.
• Goals must be out of reach, but definitely not out of sight.
• Its better to set tough goals even if that means occasionally failing short, rather than setting simple goals which may later lead to dissatisfaction.
• Performance goals are better than result goals. Results goals are not in our hands, but performance goals are.
• Talent alone isn't enough. You should have the combination of three things – Ability, Attitude and Passion. (It’s called the winning triangle)
• Even if you have the talent, you should know what to do with it. You should have resourcefulness.
• If we think that victory seems a perfect place to rest a while, we are wrong.
• Sometimes, a little competition is good. It brings the best out of us.
• Failure is the best teacher.
• It’s not the strongest of species that survive, not the most intelligent even. But the ones most responsive to changes, do survive.
• Changes may be risky, but not changing is riskier.
• Hold your team together. Make everyone from all levels, feel comfortable and involved.
• Inventories can be managed, people can only be led. Get along with everyone.
• For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.
