More quotes by John Eliot
"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."
"Genuine confidence is a way of thinking about yourself and your abilities. Confidence is your perception of your own potential; it's a kind of long-term thinking that powers you through the obstacles and tough times, helping you solve problems and putting you in the way of success. Your confidence is quite a separate matter from your social skills."
"Thinking is a habit, and like any other habit, it can be changed; it just takes effort and repetition."
"As soon as anyone starts telling you to be "realistic," cross that person off your invitation list."
"Exceptional thinkers ignore their critics and go about their business making history."
