I became an artist because I wanted to be an active participant in the conversation about art.

Winners were not born winners; they learnt and practiced how to win and they have it! Everyone who gives a great testimony about his/her life begins with a beginning that was "inadequate" until something happened... an a breakthrough became evident!

Do not get down on your knees to pray just to show God that you always remember him. Instead stay on your feet, and always do as he would do in place of him.

Practicing what you preach is the world’s most eloquent sermon.

By constant practices, deliberate repetitions and uninterrupted exercises, leaders go from zero to hero. They don't quit.

If you want to find the real competition, just look in the mirror. After awhile you'll see your rivals scrambling for second place.

Joy is a practice, not an involuntary state.

Start the daily practice of joyful living.

Practice patience to get the results but don't be much patient to take actions.

The essence of training is to allow error without consequence.

True leaders are ready to sweat when making rehearsal, than to cry tears when actually practicing. To save the tears, be ready to sweat!

The idea of practicing love is deeply appealing to me, because built right in is an acceptance of imperfection. There is an acknowledgment to myself that I am going to mess this up, an understanding that there is room to grow. Each of my failures just affirms the truth that we are all starting over and rising again.
