24 Quotes by John Eliot

You will not do incredible things without an incredible dream.

History shows us that the people who end up changing the world – the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries – are always nuts, until they are right, and then they are geniuses.

As soon as anyone starts telling you to be “realistic,” cross that person off your invitation list.

Confidence is consistency of thinking about what is possible and how to make it possible.

Stick with your own perception of yourself-living in your own world-and letting your reality, not the reality presented by other people or particular situations, control your performance.

Overachievers don’t think reasonably, sensibly, or rationally.

Overachievement is aimed at people who want to maximize their potential. And to do that, I insist you throw caution to the wind, ignore the pleas of parents, coaches, spouses, and bosses to be “realistic.”

Perfectionism is simply putting a limit on your future. When you have an idea of perfect in your mind, you open the door to constantly comparing what you have now with what you want. That type of self criticism is significantly deterring.

Exceptional thinkers ignore their critics and go about their business making history.
