Success: We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

Risk: You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Imagination: A mind stretched by new ideas never regains its original dimensions.

Opportunity: You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Effort: Life does not require us to be the biggest or the best. It only asks that we try.

Teamwork: There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching out and lifting people up.

Excellence: Some succeed because they are destined to. Others succeed because they are determined to. (which are you?)

Attitude: If it is to be, it is up to me.

Teamwork: Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to achieve uncommon results.

Courage: In the end the only people who fail are those who do not try.
