“If mistakes happen, effective leaders don’t place blame on others. They take ownership of the mistakes, determine what went wrong, develop solutions to correct those mistakes and prevent them from happening again as they move forward.”

Faster. Stronger. Smarter. More humble. Less ego.

Instead of letting the situation dictate our decisions, we must dictate the situation.

Motivation is fickle. It comes and goes.

Don’t ask your leader what you should do, tell them what you are going to do.

That’s it. When things are going bad: Don’t get all bummed out, don’t get startled, don’t get frustrated. No. Just look at the issue and say: Good.

Leaders must always operate with the understanding that they are part of something greater than themselves and their own personal interests.

Remember to keep your ego in check. Don’t judge people.

Stop researching every aspect of it and reading all about it and debating the pros and cons of it, Start doing it.

Plans and orders must be communicated in a manner that is simple, clear, and concise. Everyone

Discipline equals freedom.

If the plan is simple enough, everyone understands it, which means each person can rapidly adjust and modify what he or she is doing. If the plan is too complex, the team can’t make rapid adjustments to it, because there is no baseline understanding of it.

Our egos don’t like to take blame.

It’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.

In order to convince and inspire others to follow and accomplish a mission, a leader must be a true believer in the mission.

You have to BE VIGILANT. You have to be ON GUARD. You have to HOLD THE LINE on the seemingly insignificant little things— things that shouldn’t matter—but that do.

Don’t try to plan for every contingency. Doing so will only overburden you and weigh you down so that you cannot quickly maneuver.

Development is not about factories, dams and roads. Development is about people. The goal is material, cultural and spiritual fulfilment for the people. The human factor is of supreme value in development.

Nothing develops intelligence like travel.

Substantial progress toward better things can rarely be taken without developing new evils requiring new remedies.

The great monopoly in this country is the money monopoly. So long as it exists, our old variety of freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question.

For life is tendency, and the essence of a tendency is to develop in the form of a sheaf, creating, by its very growth, divergent directions among which its impetus is divided.

Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.

Cheat meals can be a great tool to develop your physique. They can reset hormones responsible for metabolism and insulin regulation, replenish glycogen for increased energy, and keep calorie-burning mechanisms high.

I still feel I am that 14-year-old kid, hungry and trying to find a way through life. That’s what I’m trying to develop, trying to be good at something through boxing. But I feel like that young kid who’s trying and trying.
