| Introduction | |
| |
| |
| |
| Control what you can: Your own integrity, your own performance | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Talent is a great gift, but the gift alone doesn't get you there | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Prepare, prepare, prepare, then accept the results--whatever they are | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| It is your core beliefs that either propel you or hold you back | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| You're only going to be here for a minute; make that minute count! | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| It's a powerful notion: You can always do things better | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| The hardest truth is this: You can do your best, and still not win | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| It's still about what each of us can do for all of us | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| What matters is not just if you get there, but what you stand for if you get there | |

| |
| Taking a risk is scary, but it can feel so good | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| I believe in destiny, but you can't just sit there waiting on it. Go get it | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| When the blockades go up, move around or through them, just keep on moving | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Don't be afraid to lose. Don't be afraid to go it alone. Don't be afraid | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| There are great benefits to a position like mine, but there is a high price to be paid | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| I'm still trying to find my true purpose in life, but I'm not trying to rush it, or force it, anymore | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| My grandmother was right: You are judged by the company you keep | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| The people who can handle the valleys in their lives are the ones who will ultimately make it | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Think big, dream big, but focus small | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Hesitancy is often viewed as ignorance. Better to just make a mistake, then get on with it | |
| |

| Watching my mother do her very best as a maid, that is how I leamed to be a college president | |

| |
| Get your feet on the ground, and know who you are | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Is the glass half full or is it half empty? The answer lies in your attitude | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| My outlook has always been, if it's doable, then why can't I do it? | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| I'm proof that you can operate a little bit outside of the box and still have the inside track | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Develop good instincts, then trust them completely | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Remember this: Perception is reality | |
| |
| |

| |
| It was important for me to hit a brick wall; it forced me to deal with me | |
