One of the things you realize with a lot of high achievers: You have to figure out a way to make things their idea.

I know I was a great friend to Tiger Woods. But when you have a relationship that's involves business and friendship - and the business part comes to an end - things always get a little blurry.

Learning quickly what others have figure out is smart. Figuring out how to solve something is even smarter. That's how Ultra Achievers are born.

My feeling was, you plant some seeds. If they grow, great; if they don't, you don't take it personally. Not my problem; I just kept planting. Just like a farmer.

Mediocre people don’t like high achievers, and high achievers don’t like mediocre people.

When you get out there on the mound, you've got what you've got, and you got to figure out a way to get outs.
