“One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present.”

Little kindness and courtesies are so important. In relationships, the little things are the big things.

You can’t talk your way out of a problem you behaved your way into!

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

Most leaders would agree that they’d be better off having an average strategy with superb execution than a superb strategy with poor execution. Those who execute always have the upper hand.

Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience.

Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.

Live your life by a compass, not a clock.

Beginners are many; finishers are few.

Free your heart from hatred – forgive. Free your mind from worries – most never happen. Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less.
