“Find something you like to do so much that you would gladly do it for nothing; then learn to do it so well that people are happy to pay you for it.”

Where there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present.

It’s said that a wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others’ mistakes. But the wisest person of all learns from others’s successes.

Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don’t change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That’s the day we truly grow up.

Negative thinking limits God and our potential.

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.

The length and breath of our influence on others are directly related to the depth of our concern for them.

Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.

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.
