Great performers are, by definition, abnormal; they strive throughout their entire careers to separate themselves from the pack.
If you really want to find out what you're capable of, you cannot put limits on yourself, and you definitely cannot be cautious.
The top players in every field think differently when all the marbles are on the line. Great performers focus on what they are doing, and nothing else ... They let it happen, let it go. They couldn't care less about the results.
High achievers dwell on what they do well and spend very little time evaluating themselves and their performances.
All the great performers I have worked with are fueled by a personal dream.
I have discovered that I cannot enhance anybody's performance without getting them not only to live with the butterflies that come with high-pressure jobs but to embrace that kind of physical response, enjoy it, get into it. That's the first real ticket to being a performer who thinks exceptionally.
Upon this dispute not alone our lands and goods are engaged, but all that we call ours. These rights, these privileges, which made our fathers freemen, are in question.
Exceptional thinkers ignore their critics and go about their business making history.
Arrogant S.O.B.s run the world. A performer can never have too much self-confidence. The best in every field are likely to strike most people as irrationally confident, but that's how they got to the top.
Confidence is consistency of thinking about what is possible and how to make it possible.
Great performers in all fields seem immune to what outsiders think about them. Their sense of themselves never depends on the feedback-positive or negative-they get from the environment.
To be a top performer you have to be passionately committed to what you're doing and insanely confident about your ability to pull it off.
Genuine confidence is a way of thinking about yourself and your abilities. Confidence is your perception of your own potential; it's a kind of long-term thinking that powers you through the obstacles and tough times, helping you solve problems and putting you in the way of success. Your confidence is quite a separate matter from your social skills.
As soon as anyone starts telling you to be "realistic," cross that person off your invitation list.
You will not do incredible things without an incredible dream.
History shows us that the people who end up changing the world - the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries - are always nuts, until they are right, and then they are geniuses.
Superstars think like superstars long before the fans or the press anoint them.
Bill Russell is one of the great names in basketball, an all-American ... and the only athlete to ever win an NCAA Championship, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a professional championship all in the same year-1956 ... But Bill Russell had this one problem: He threw up before every game.
Elevated levels of confidence are omnipresent among history's greatest overachievers. Benjamin Franklin, one of the most famous men in the world even before he signed the Declaration of Independence once lamented about humility, "I cannot boast of much success in acquiring the reality of this virtue."
What turns ordinary people into overachievers is the way they use their minds when they are called on to perform.
Great performers require a measure of confidence that would strike many as absurd, unfounded, and downright irrational. They believe in themselves utterly, without question, even when everyone else is questioning how good (or sane) they are.
Unlikely accomplishments are borne out of single-minded purposefulness. Future superstars don't get there by keeping part of their heart in reserve.
Stick with your own perception of yourself-living in your own world-and letting your reality, not the reality presented by other people or particular situations, control your performance.
