We can seldom get our children to do what we tell them, but they almost never fail to imitate us.

Don’t take counsel of your fears or naysayers.

Treat people kindly. When you are kind to somebody and I don’t mean necessarily “buddy-buddy”, just show kindness and consideration. Show that people are worthy and you respect them and you are glad they’re with you.

Fit no stereotypes. Don’t chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team’s mission.

Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.

Be careful what you choose: You may get it.

Worse than a bloody hand is a hard heart.

The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.

I am on a self-love journey; still learning how to love myself. I carry wounds that I have not yet healed from; some days they seem to disappear and other days they bleed heavily.
