Compete, but not out of envy.
Contest, but not out of hostility.
Treat your rivals with respect;
treat your allies with honor.

When you innovate,
expect to make mistakes.
When you don't innovate,
expect your competitors to surpass you.

Over preparing for your competition is better than underpreparing.

Your excellence is what will leave your competition clueless.
Your uniqueness is what will leave your competition speechless.
Your brilliance is what will leave your competition breathless.
Your transcendence is what will leave your competition lifeless.

True champions, like the sun, cannot be eclipsed for long.

Cheerfulness will help you draw strangers, cleverness will help gain acquaintances, faithfulness will help you keep companions, and kindness will help you multiply friends.
