The unique thing about bodybuilding is that when I compete it is just me on a stage alone. There is no field, no bat, no ball, no skis, no skates. All other athletes have to use equipment, like a football. But I don't use anything in competition except myself. It's just me up there. Me alone. No coach. No nothing.

Do you have to discipline yourself to have breakfast, lunch or dinner? Of course not and so discipline - the usual concept of it - doesn't apply here. I had to discipline myself to learn English, but never to train.

You're always as good as your last movie and that's the same with politics. If you are successful with a certain policy, then you're hot if you're successful with the economy, or bringing down the unemployment rate, then you're hot. But if you're not successful, then things go south very quickly.

Look for small victories and build on that. Each small victory, even if it is just getting up five minutes earlier, gives you confidence. You realize that these little victories make you feel great, and you keep going. You realize that being paralyzed by fear of failure is worse than failure.
