“Every single person in Britain is so negative about the young players. All they are waiting to do is just put them down and I think this week I kind of showed that possibly I might go on and do well,”
Andrew Murray
“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.”
Mark Twain
“Bondage is...subjection to external influences and internal negative thoughts and attitudes.”
W. Clement Stone
“He who would be useful, strong, and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative, beggarly, and impure streams of thought; and as a wise householder commands his servants and invites his guests, so must he learn to command his desires and to say, with authority, what thoughts he shall admit into the mansion of his soul.”
James Allen
“Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure. At least we will be able to prevent the advent of negative conduct dominated by negative emotion. That is 'shila', or moral ethics. Once we develop this by familiarizing ourselves with it, along with mindfulness and conscientiousness, eventually that pattern and way of life will become a part of our own life.”
Dalai Lama
“Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.”
Michael Pritchard
“Everybody I talked to -- and this shouldn't be taken negatively -- I've never been around a player that small who has that much bat speed, that much hand-eye coordination, that much power. The ball jumps off his bat.”
Dave Keller
