Habits, scientists say, emerge because the brain is constantly looking for ways to save effort.

Most of the choices we make each day may feel like the products of well-considered decision making, but they’re not. They’re habits.

If you tell people that they have what it takes to succeed, they'll prove you right

If you believe you can change - if you make it a habit - the change becomes real.

Change might not be fast and it isn't always easy. But with time and effort, almost any habit can be reshaped.

The Golden Rule of Habit Change: You can't extinguish a bad habit, you can only change it.

Champions don’t do extraordinary things. They do ordinary things, but they do them without thinking, too fast for the orther team to react. They follow the habits they’ve learned.

This is the real power of habit: the insight that your habits are what you choose them to be.

The brain has this amazing ability to find happiness even when the memories of it are gone.

Self-discipline has a bigger effect on academic performance than does intellectual talent.

The problem is that your brain can't tell the difference between bad and good habits, and so if you have a bad one, it's always lurking there, waiting for the right cues and rewards.

This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.

You believe what your eyes want to believe!

We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.

Dare my guilty heart admit the horrible acknowledgement that I love you still?

Even-minded and cheerful. When things go bad, you'll find that the same kind of attitude comes to you naturally.

It's definitely an honour to represent my home country once again in the Commonwealth Games. It is going to be a magical experience and to be considered as a role model is a reward in itself.

I don't need the bread, but it's nice to do something creative.

A lot of my branding has come from stubbornness - I knew what I liked. I knew what I wanted to do.

Turn your scars into stars by realising how lucky you are that things aren't worse.

If we really want to live, we'd better start at once to try.
