1. The actions of confidence come first, the feelings of confidence come later

5. True success is living by your values.
6. Hold your values lightly, but pursue them vigorously.
7. Don’t obsess about the outcome, get passionate about the process.

9. Failure hurts, but if we’re willing to learn it’s a wonderful teacher.
10. The key to peak performance is total engagement in the task.
