“If you start today to do the right thing, you are already a success even if it doesn’t show yet.”

The best way to help people is to see the best in them.

If you can learn to understand people how they think, what they feel, what inspires them, how they’re likely to act and react in a given situation- then you can motivate and influence them in a positive way.

If you don’t change the direction you are going, then you’re likely to end up where you’re heading.

If you don’t try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get.

Leadership is taking responsibility while others are making excuses.

When you make a commitment, you create hope. When you keep a commitment you create trust!

Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up.

Your goal as a leader isn’t to be indispensable to the people you lead; it is to leave your people something that is indispensable to them.

Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing. That’s the Law of Consistency. It doesn’t matter how talented you are. It doesn’t matter how many opportunities you receive. If you want to grow, consistency is key.

Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.

To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward.

The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.

If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.

Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.

Never underestimate the power of an encouraging word.

You add value to people when you value them.

The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves.

Only when someone refuses to do certain things will he be capable of doing great things.

When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you’re pledging your integrity.

When the need to succeed is as bad as the need to breathe, then you’ll be successful.

Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.

The most successful people in life are the ones who ask questions. They’re always learning. They’re always growing. They’re always pushing.

Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, What’s in it for me?
