Something a friend wrote and sent to me. I thought it would be valuable to share...

X is life.
All I want to do, ever, is just do X.
I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves.
All that matters on the board is good moves.
You can only get good at X if you love the game.
X demands total concentration and a love for the game.
I give 98 percent of my mental energy to X. Others give only 2 percent.
Your body has to be in top condition. Your X deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind.
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
Psychologically, you have to have confidence in yourself and this confidence should be based on fact.
It’s just you and your opponent at the board and you're trying to prove something.
I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
You have to have the fighting spirit. You have to force moves and take chances.
That's what X is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one.
I like the moment when I break a man's ego.
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player.
I am the best player in the world and I am here to prove it.
You know, I can beat all those guys.
There's no one alive I can't beat.
Let's play. I'm willing to play anywhere.
I add status to any tournament I attend.
Genius. It’s a word. What does it really mean? If I win I'm a genius. If I don't, I'm not.
If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me.
If you don't win, it’s not a great tragedy - the worst that happens is that you lose a game.
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it.
A strong memory, concentration, imagination, and a strong will.
I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good X.
