"Positive thinking is the key to success in business, education, pro football, anything that you can mention. I go out there thinking that I'm going to complete every pass"
About this Quote
Jaworski’s optimism isn’t presented as a mood; it’s framed as equipment. By yoking “business, education, pro football” into one breathless list, he sells positive thinking as a transferable technology - a mental habit you can carry from the boardroom to the huddle. That sweep matters culturally: it echoes the late-20th-century American fascination with mindset as a master key, the idea that confidence can flatten structural differences between fields that actually run on wildly different rules.
The second line tightens the claim into something more honest and revealing. “I go out there thinking that I'm going to complete every pass” isn’t naïveté so much as a quarterback’s job description. You can’t play the position while budgeting for failure; hesitation is measurable. The subtext is less “good vibes attract touchdowns” and more “commitment prevents paralysis.” It’s a self-imposed script that keeps the decision fast and the arm loose, even when reality (coverage, pressure, weather, your own limitations) is ready to rebut you.
There’s also a subtle dodge in how the quote moralizes performance. If success is primarily a product of thinking positively, then losing can be recast as a psychological lapse rather than a collision of talent, preparation, luck, and opponent quality. That’s motivational and marketable - especially from an athlete turned public voice - but it also flatters the culture’s preference for individual controllables over messier truths.
