If you know in your heart that you did the best of which you were capable, there is no such thing as failure. That is why full effort is so important. You always win when you make the full effort.

Total effort is what counts. As long as you do your best, there is no shame. Whether in your job, in the community, or in your personal life, always do your best. You can’t control being better than someone else. But you can control trying to be the best that you can be. Personal success comes from total effort. If you do less than your best you have failed yourself.
“Peace of mind comes from knowing you did your best.”

Set your sights on a goal but focus on the preparation – on what you must do and think to accomplish your goal. Winning is a by-product of your preparation and effort. Focus on the effort and preparation and your results will take care of themselves.
“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.”

It’s easy to look back and see where you might have done something differently. As long as you are looking for ways to improve your performance, it’s O.K. to look back. But don’t waste time second-guessing yourself. Your past results were based on your past experience. If things don’t work out, use your new experience to get better results next time.
“Self-confidence is the first requirement for great undertakings.”

Leaders make decisions – all the time. Followers make suggestions. Making suggestions is easy because it requires no action or fear of failure. Making decisions is tough. It takes guts because there is always something at stake.
Start making more decisions. Start taking more action. The more you do, the more of a leader you’ll be, and the more you’ll advance both personally and professionally.
“Great decision making comes from trusting and following your intuition and your gut feelings.”

Studies of successful people have proven that attitude accounts for 80% of their success and aptitude for only 20%.
What is attitude? It’s thinking like a winner. Expecting to win. Being willing to pay the price. Deciding to make it happen. Believing you can do it. Positive expectancy. Confidence coupled with a strong work ethic.
“What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him.”

Don’t ever let the lack of know-how or lack of resources keep you from pursuing your dream. When you lack know-how of resources, look for key people you can partner up with. People who have the skills and resources you need to move forward.
“Teamwork makes the dream work.”
