When you achieve excellence once, you will never settle for mediocre again. Excellence is a habit and it does not go away easily. Once you are able to realize your capabilities, the days of not giving it your all and settling for second best are long gone.

Your friends will believe in you and give you the courage and support you need. Your enemies will make you accomplish those goals. Proving people wrong is much better and more satisfying than proving people right.

Any goal worth completing is not going to be easy. If you think living your dreams is simple and you are entitled to it, you will never achieve it. The first step is dedicating yourself to a goal and knowing that it will not be easy to complete it, but it will be worth it.

There is not always an easy way out. Sometimes there is only one way to do things and that is the hard way. Too many times people look for the easiest or the fastest way to get something done. Usually this is not the most practical or the most valuable way of doing something. We often need to take the hard way to make sure things are done well. Quality over Quantity.
