Daily Thought - Pat Summitt

"You can't always be the strongest or most talented or most gifted person in the room, but you can always be the most competitive. There are bound to be days when you run into someone who is better than you. What can you do about it? You can compete, that's what. You can put forth so much effort that you cut your opponent down to size and force him to play below his abilities. Competitiveness allows you to influence your opponent." Coach Pat Summitt, Tennessee Women's Basketball in Reach for the Summit

Daily Thought - Pat Summitt

"Discipline is about more than just punishment.


Discipline is the internal structure that supports your organization. Used properly, it can help you maintain order without ever having to actually do the unpleasant work or punishing people. It is the basis of leadership.

Discipline is the only sure way I know to convince people to believe in themselves.

Discipline is the internal mechanism that self-motivates you. It gets you out of bed in the morning. It gets you to work on time and it tells you when you need to work late. It drives you. It is essential to success, whether individually or in a group.”
