It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man tumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the trimph of high achievements and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while doing greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat.
--Theodore Roosevelt
He that leaveth nothing to chance will do few things ill, but he will do very few things.
-- George Savile.
If it's easy, everyone would be doing it. -- Author unknown
Picture yourself frazzled, burnt to a crisp, whether in a race, training, or in a stressful situation where you are at your limit, and imagine that as you really go inside, and reach down for those last few ounces of courage, and you find yourself standing at the edge of he chasm of the unknown, and you ask yourself: 'Would I rather leap off into the darkness, knowing that I was not afraid? Or would I rather back away from the edge, and instead wallow in self-doubt?' To this, I say: 'savor the leap. -- Author unknown
Relax to max.
I am calm and in control.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with the success unexpected in common hours.
-- Henry David Thoreau
Think and feel yourself there! To achieve any aim in life, you need to project the end-result. Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy! Carrying the ecstatic feeling will bring the desired goal into view. -- Grace Speare
Have confidence and trust yourself. Every doubt is a sap on your momentum.
-- Jason Kung
When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet, at the one hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it -- but all that had gone before.
--Jacob Riis
My own experience has taught me this: if you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won or lasting happiness achieved. --Maurice Chevalier
Respect yourself. Don?t look down on what you do. Don?t preserve a pessimistic attitude towards yourself. If you slight yourself and do cheap, lazy, unworthy things, then there will be many things that you can not accomplish. Reverend Heng Sure. Open Your Eyes: Take a Look at the World, p. 227.
