Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week. Hope you find something that inspires you here:

Be about the cause, not the applause....Be about the game, not the fame....

There's no room for excuses when chasing a dream.

It's not just about working hard, it's about working together. You have to care more about the team than you do about yourself.

Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your own two ears.

Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions be louder than your words.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
