“Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven’t paid the price to decide what is really important to them.”

To listen with empathy is the most important human skill.

If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting.

Whenever you experience stress of any kind, look into yourself and ask, In what way am I compromising my innermost values in this situation?

Efficient management without effective leadership is, as one individual phrased, it, “like straightening deck chairs on the Titanic”.

We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.

All broken relationships can be traced back to broken agreements.

Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.

What you do has far greater impact than what you say.

It’s better to be humbled by the word than by the force of circumstances.

The problems in life come when we’re sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.

We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

Unless you’re continually improving your skills, you’re quickly becoming irrelevant.

It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it and appropriately act on it.

Your most important work is always ahead of you, never behind you.

While we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can choose our responses.

Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.

I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.

Messi makes the difference most of the time. In particular, he is always going forwards. He never passes the ball backwards or sideways. He has only one idea, to run towards the goal. So as a football fan, just enjoy the show.

Messi scores a goal and celebrates. Cristiano scores a goal and poses like he’s in a shampoo commercial.

I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.

You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.

I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.

The goal was scored a little bit by the hand of God, another bit by the head of Maradona.
