“Real leaders aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.”

People often resist change when they don’t participate in the decision-making process. Some of the best leaders ‘plant the seed’ that permits others to propose the idea and take credit for it!

Help other people get what they want – and you’ll get what you want.

Be a dreamer. Have a sense of greatness. It has been said that if you can dream it, you can do it. And I believe that. Before your dream can become a reality, you have to see it in your own mind; see its fulfillment, whatever it may be.

You are the only boss you have. And I want you to be the most demanding boss that you can be. If you really want to make a success of this business, then you must put yourself on a schedule.

Hope is wishing for something to come true. Faith is belief that it will come true. Believe that for every problem God gives you, He will also provide you with a solution.

For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

You can’t stand still. You either go forward or backward.

Dare to risk public criticism.

Even the smallest achievements pave a way to great success.

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it’s too late.

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.

I believe that you should praise people whenever you can; it causes them to respond as a thirsty plant responds to water.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

Those who are blessed with the most talent don’t necessarily outperform everyone else. It’s the people with follow-through who excel.

People fall forward to success.

Fear is faith that it won’t work.

She loved nothing more than a man who wasn’t afraid to test them. To test her.

I have always felt sorry for people afraid of feeling, of sentimentality, who are unable to weep with their whole heart. Because those who do not know how to weep do not know how to laugh either.

It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.

Don’t be afraid mama, the line between your baby and his is very thin, one might even say it doesn’t exist.

You can’t get it all done yourself. The best leaders are not afraid of picking people who are better than they are and who may one day replace them.

If you are afraid of darkness, you are afraid of your own soul.

I’ve been afraid to look at the woman in the mirror. Everyday she looks less and less like me. It makes me wonder if I’ll ever find my way back home.

I hide behind olive branches. So afraid of others knowing what lay beneath the broken rifle. The reality hitting the pavement like bullets that stem from war.
