1. There is always somebody better than you.
2. Even if you are the best, you are the best THAT DAY, for that short period of time. So refer back to rule 1.
3. For every person you look at and think "I wish I were that good/strong/fast, etc," there is somebody looking at you thinking "I wish I were that good/strong/fast, etc."
4. Contrary to popular opinion, you CAN teach heart. What you can't teach is desire. If a person doesn't have the drive to be good, no amount of flogging or encouragement is going to bring that out.
5. An ******* is an *******. Even if they are nice "off the court/mat/ring," they are still *******s. Stress brings out a person's true personality. Don't hang out with *******s. It's bad for you.
6. The best thing you can do for your training is surround yourself with people who want it.
7. Being as good as you can be is the cumulative product of decisions you make. No obstacle is insurmountable. You can choose to let it be, or you can decide your priorities lay elsewhere - as long as you understand that that is YOU, not "circumstances," or "somebody else."
8. Not all chicks dig cauliflower ear.
9. But the ones that do are cool as ****.
10. Wait! I thought of something: "Can't never could."
