When things don't go your way—or, rather, what you don't think of as your way—there can be a variety of opportunities that may not be obvious in the moment but that through hard work, preparation, and persistence can present themselves over time and make you better.

There may be people that have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.

Good is not good when better is expected.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will all be judged by only one thing: the result.
