How you frame an issue shapes how it is viewed by others. Great advocates frame their ideas as problems that need solutions.

More quotes by John Daly
Ideas really do matter. But in any organization a good idea will only go so far unless its proponents are willing to fight the political games to get the idea adopted.
John Daly
General personal principle: You are generally successful to the degree others want you to succeed. So get adopted! And, even more importantly, it's amazing how much you can get done when you let other people take credit for it.
John Daly
All four days I didn't think. I just hit. Squeaky (Medlen, his caddy) said 'kill' and I killed it.
John Daly
I wasn't this nervous playing golf when I was drinking. It's the first tournament I've won on the PGA Tour in a sober manner, so it's a great feeling knowing I can do it sober. I don't think two years ago I could have pulled this off.
John Daly
[The greatest barriers to forming alliances] are not figuring out what would make others want to join with you. Assuming that what excites you excites others. Spend more time assuming people have good reasons for what they do or say and then figure out those good reasons.
John Daly
I believe nicotine plus caffeine equals protein.
John Daly
Everyone has addictions and my problem is that I have 5,000 of them. If it's not drinking, it's gambling if it's not gambling, it's eating anything from burgers, doughnuts to M&Ms. The only addiction I don't suffer from is chasing women.
John Daly
Idea-Advocacy Matrix highlights a couple of things: that good ideas need to be sold if they are ever going to see the light of day and bad ideas sometimes do quite well because of the skills of the proponent to sell them.
John Daly
I've got the drinkers and the smokers and the eaters on my side.
John Daly
The only way I'll ever make the Ryder Cup team is when I become captain then I can name myself to the team.
John Daly
You're playing competitive, and it's always better to play four competitive rounds than it is two because you sit there for a weekend and then you start all over again.
John Daly
He's tough (Tiger Woods). I wish I was that tough when I was his age.
John Daly
It's nice to worry about playing golf and not all the other stuff.
John Daly
Whether I'm shooting 10-under or 10-over I have to realize people have come a long way to see me play. I can't be back-handing putts.
John Daly
I don't care what anybody says. The first tournament is not the hardest one to win. It's always the second one.
John Daly
Stories match the way our species thinks. Equally important, stories are something we share - everyone everywhere tells stories and oddly enough, in the same way. It all probably started around some campfire a million years ago.
John Daly
Seems I used to do everything like I was on a mission. If it was alcohol, I wanted to drink till I couldn't see straight. If it was golf, I wanted to beat everybody's brains out. If it was driving, I can get there faster'n you can. It's not anybody's fault, I guess. I was stubborn as hell. I had no direction.
John Daly
I hit the ball as hard as I can. If I can find it, I hit it again.
John Daly
My slogan is who needs fitness when you've got great equipment.
John Daly
Most change initiatives either fail or fall far short of original (perhaps unrealistic) expectations. More often than not, resistance is cultural in nature, the result of what James O'Toole so aptly characterizes as the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom.
