Words of Wisdom: Vince Lombardi

Vince Lombardi was an American professional football coach (the Green Bay Packers). His teams won five league championships in nine years. Here are some of his ideas:

Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing-the result
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual
If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will
If you can accept losing, you can't win
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit
If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?
Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the temporary failures
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up
Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence
The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect
Fatigue makes cowards of us all
People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser
Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing
The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor
Winners never quit and quitters never win
Success demands singleness of purpose
Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is
