Positivity

If something has ever been done before why can’t you do it now.  If something is ever going to be done in the future why can’t you do it right now.  There is only one way in my mind to coach and that is with a positive expectation as a result. – 6 time Olympic Coach, Richard Quick

Criticism

this is the way steve jobs responded to a guy criticizing his iPad - i thought it was pretty cool.  "By the way, what have you done that’s so great? Do you create anything, or just criticize others work and belittle their motivations?"

Belief

My old swim coach Richard Quick, "Believe in Belief"

“Heretics must believe.  More than anyone else in an organization, it’s the person who’s challenging the status quo, the one who is daring to be great, who is truly present and not just punching a clock who must have confidence in her beliefs.  Can you imagine Steve Jobs showing up for the paycheck?  It’s nice to get paid.  It’s essential to believe.” – Seth Godin
