There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose - Garth Stein

• Smart leaders focus on what they have, not what they don't.
• You never have to recover from a good start. No race was ever won in the first corner, but many have been lost there.
• You don’t choose the dog. The dog chooses you.
• There is an art to leadership.
• Make a covenant with your eyes.
• The best drivers don’t dwell on the future or the past. The best drivers focus only on the present. Reflection must come at a later time.
• Ruthlessly self-evaluate
• Smart leaders create cultures of success.
• Leaders must properly evaluate reality.
• Love is an infinite resource.

• Successful leaders sacrifice for the good of others.
• Guard your tongue. You never know who is listening.
• Great leaders get their entire teams across the finish line.
• Leaders have to constantly deal with unpredictable elements.
• Leaders, you have all you need for success.
• Serving others gives you a sense of pride.
• Successful leaders resource their teams with all they need.
• Successful leaders are resilient leaders.
• A good pit crew adapts, adjusts, and corrects.
• Successful leaders are risk-takers. 

• A champion can accomplish things that normal people only think are possible.
• Leaders are either thermostats or thermometers. They either set the temperature or respond to it.
• When opportunity presents itself, It’s too late to prepare.
• There’s no dishonour in losing a race. There is only dishonour when you don’t race because you’re afraid to lose.
• Lasting leaders keep their promises.
• My life has been so long and so short at the same time.
• You’ve been a good friend, a very good friend.
• For now, all I want is one more lap, just one more.
