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

There is so much we can do to render service, to make a difference in the world – no matter how large or small our circle of influence.

When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you’re pledging your integrity.

Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.

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!

The key to success is dedication to life-long learning.

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.

Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking.

As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.

What you see often depends on what you are looking for.

Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

The more you fail, recover, and improve, the better you are as a person.

Be committed to self-improvement but do it for yourself, not for others.

I want to grow. I want to be better. You grow. We all grow. We’re made to grow. You either evolve or you disappear.

If you wish to be good, first believe that you are bad.

Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals & character is superior to the man who tries to teach & train others.

The man of least capacity is the one who shows himself incapable of self-correction.

Each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals.
