I've always said, the harder the golf course, the better I play.
SEX is designed for people who like overcoming obstacles.
The better the opposition put in front of you, the better your team plays.
Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.
You can have a bad opponent out there and still get the job done. You just have to work around certain things.
So the better my partner or my opposition, however you like to think about it, the better my game.
I'm extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that... it sounds, well, I don't care how it sounds - to me, scoring comes easy. It's not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
We are a nation that seeks out solutions and refuses to ignore challenges.
Civilizations, I believe, come to birth and proceed to grow by successfully responding to successive challenges. They break down and go to pieces if and when a challenge confronts them that they fail to meet.
As a world leader, America must be prepared to confront any challenge.
America may be slow to rise to a challenge. But our history has shown that once we make up our minds to really do something, nothing can stand in our way.
If we do have realistic confidence in our mind and value, if we feel secure within ourselves, we tend to experience the world as open to us and to respond appropriately to challenges and opportunities.
The ramifications that you set for yourself can inspire you to do things that you would have never thought of because, once you're trapped, your job is to persevere.
When obstacles or difficulties arise, the positive thinker takes them as creative opportunities.
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.
Challenges are solved by rising to a level higher than the challenge.
When people have a hard task to do - one which stretches them - they become less concerned with trivial matters.
You go into flow when your highest strengths are deployed to meet the highest challenges that come your way.
Sometimes in life, when bad things happen to us, or things aren't going our way, or we're faced with a challenge or a problem, it's how you look at the problem; it's how you do it to change your mindset, to dilute the negativity.
When given age-appropriate challenges, children tend to take them very seriously; in fact, the more obvious the risk is, the more cautiously a child will proceed.
An obvious fact about negative feelings is often overlooked. They are caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not to the things themselves.
I tend to have this perverse reaction to authority and stress: I become more confident and clear when a challenge is enormous.
Great achievement often happens when our backs are up against the wall. Pressure can actually enhance your performance.
