Thoughts on success from Jim Tressel's "The Winner's Manual."Decide your purpose, set your goals: If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them!
Developing vision: the first step in creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it.
Vision will ignite the fire of passion, which fuels our commitment to do whatever it takes to achieve excellence.
Vision allows us to transform dreams of greatness into the reality of achievement through human action.
Vision has no boundaries and knows no limits. Our vision is what we become in life.
Fame usually comes to those who are thinking about something else. (Oliver Wendell Holmes)
Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. (Romans 12:12)
Success is a journey that we all take, and it affects every phase of our lives. In order to thrive during that journey, we have to have a clear view of what success is, what it isn’t, and what it will take to achieve it.
Goals are important, but it’s important to understand that people are not defined by their goals and whether or not they reach them. A win or a loss does not make you or me a better or worse human being. This is where, in our society, we’ve so easily lost perspective on the truth about who we are. We have to separate who we are from what we do.
John Wooden: “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.
“Success is the inner satisfaction and peace of mine that some from knowing I did the best I was capable of doing for the group.”
