Stay the course. When thwarted try again; harder; smarter. Persevere relentlessly.

Success travels in the company of very hard work. There is no trick, no easy way.

Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.

The best competition I have is against myself to become better.

The best way to improve your team is to improve yourself.
