Who will be as honest in small things as in great things.
Who will make no compromise with wrong;
Whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;
Who will not say they do it ‘because everybody else does it;’
Who are true to their friends through good report in adversity as well as in
prosperity
Who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hardheadedness are the best
qualities for winning success;
Who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular,
Who can say ‘no’ with emphasis, although all the rest of the world is saying ‘yes’

million and then some, but principles can successfully select his own methods. The man
who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble. – Emerson

yourself before others and you can become a leader among men. – Lao Tzu (BC600)

Champion factors: 1. Self-analysis – knowing your strengths and weaknesses; 2. Self-
competition – concentrating on doing your best, not on beating others; 3. Confidence –
setting tough but reasonable goals; 4. Toughness – accepting risk and trying to win
instead of just trying not to lose; and 5. A game plan – realizing that talent alone is
seldom enough – Victor Parachin

because if you do, you’ll want to use it everywhere – even in places where its
inappropriate”

104) Remember: Success truly is the result of good judgement. Good judgement is the
result of experience, and experience is often the result of bed judgement – Tony Robbins

105) Success and failures are not over night experiences. It’s all the small decisions along
the way that cause people to fail. It’s failure to follow up. It’s failure to take action. It’s
failure to persist. It’s failure to manage our mental and emotional states. It’s failure to
control what we focus on. Conversely, success is the result of making small decisions:
deciding to hold yourself to a higher standard, deciding to feed your mind rather than
allowing the environment to control you – Tony Robbins
