Quotes about Ability

Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.

You see, when our attitudes outdistance our abilities, even the impossible becomes possible.

People approach any task with one of two mindsets: what I call the "Be-Good" mindset, where your focus is on proving that you have a lot of ability and already know what you're doing, and the "Get-Better" mindset, where your focus is on developing ability.
