Attitude, Hery Ford
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who think they can, and those who think they can't, and they're both right.

Although experiencing success and failure can influence one’s mindset, more often than not it is the mentality that determines the outcome. Great results are produced by “people with ambitious targets, supreme confidence, and the boldness to meet challenges head-on.” On the other hand, nothing can be achieved if one starts off afraid; thinking “it’s impossible, it’s too hard, or it won’t work.”
