“Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles.

Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.”

“Stop for a few seconds and create a clear mental picture of yourself as completely relaxed, calm, positive, smiling, and in complete control of the interview.

At a certain point, you can reach “the wall” and simply be unable to continue, like a battery that is run down.”
