Woodenby Parker on TwosIf you get caught up in things over which you have no control, it will adversely affect those things over which you have control.Don't let criticism or praise affect us. It will hurt us.Everyone on this team is equally important to the team. Nobody is bigger than the team. Nobody. Remember that.Talent is God-given: be humble. Fame is man-given: be thankful. Conceit is self-given: be careful.There is a choice you have to make, in everything you do. And you must keep in mind the choice you make makes you."Always try to be the very best that you can be. Learn from others, yes. But don't just try to be better than they are. You have no control over that. Instead try, and try very hard, to be the best that you can be. That you have control over. Maybe you'll be better than someone else and maybe you won't. That part of it will take care of itself."Success is peace of mind that is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.Success is not perfection. It is giving 100 percent of your effort, body, and mind to the struggle.The best way to improve the team is to improve ourselves.Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.Tell the truth. That way you don't have to remember the story.Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.Never make excuses. Your friends don't need them and your foes won't believe them.Be more concerned with what you can do for others than what others can do for you. You'll be surprised at the results.The time to make friends is before you need them.
