If you expect nothing, you can never be disappointed.
Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.
If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
Expectancy is the atmosphere for miracles.
Expect the unexpected.
Leaders set high standards. Refuse to tolerate mediocrity or poor performance.
Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
The only limits on human achievement are self-imposed.
And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!
Don’t demand or expect that events happen as you would wish them do. Accept events as they actually happen. That way, peace is possible.
Always do more than is required of you.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.
You are a person of destiny. You are not here by accident. There is no obstacle too big, no dream you can’t accomplish.
Today could be the start of something amazing.
Our words have creative power. With our words, we can speak blessings over our future or we can speak negative things over our future.
If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.
When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is; when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.
Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.
