I don't agree with #10:

"Being great involves luck and other circumstances beyond your control"

If you keep telling yourself this, you will never be great. I've heard this said about success and the people that think this always seem to have these types of excuses.

But I think there is something to be said for "The less you think about being great, the more likely it is to happen." If you're more focused on "am I great?" than the task at hand, it'll just be a distraction.
