Every Worthwhile Accomplishment Has A Price Tag Attached To It. The Question Is Always Whether You Are Willing To Pay The Price To Attain It - In Hard Work, Sacrifice, Patience, Faith, And Endurance.

The Position Does Not Make You A Leader. The Title, The Promotion, The Fancy Corner Office Do Not Make You A Leader. No, It Is Relationships With People That Are The Foundation, The Very Heart Of Leadership. Have You Ever Worked For Someone You Didn't Like? It's Difficult, Isn't It?

Rotten Attitudes Ruin A Team.

A Manager Says 'go,' But A Leader Says 'let's Go'.

Ability To Communicate

Look At Our Society. Everyone Wants To Be Thin, But Nobody Wants To Diet. Everyone Wants To Live Long, But Few Will Exercise. Everybody Wants Money, Yet Seldom Will Anyone Budget Or Control Their Spending.

When I Made That Statement That The Person Discovers The Secret Of Their Success By Their Daily Agenda, All Of A Sudden It Hit Me That If I Could Teach People To Make Today Count; If I Could Really Teach Them What They Need To Do Today To Have A Good Day, That Tomorrow Would Really Take Care Of Itself.

If A Leader Cannot Give You A Clear Picture Of What He Or She Sees In The Future, That Person Is Not The Leader Of That Organization.

When Contemplating The Pursuit Of A Dream Or The Start Of A New Venture, Too Many People Are Hesitant To Begin Because They Can't Comprehend The Entire Journey. If That's Where You Find Yourself Right Now, Don't Expect To Understand What It Takes To Get To The Top. Just Take The Next Step. There's No Shame In Starting Small; In Fact, If You Don't Start Small, You'll Probably Never Start At All.

If You Want To Be Great, You Can't Be Great By Yourself. You Gotta To Bring People Around You. As The The Challenge Escalates, The Need For Teamwork Elevates. The Greater The Challenge, The Better The Team.

It's Said That A Wise Person Learns From His Mistakes. A Wiser One Learns From Others' Mistakes. But The Wisest Person Of All Learns From Others's Successes.

Happiness And Love

Everything Begins With A Decision. Then, We Have To Manage That Decision For The Rest Of Your Life.

The Best Way To Ensure Success Is To Start Growing Today. No Matter Where You May Be Starting From, Don't Be Discouraged; Everyone Who Got Where He Is Started Where He Was.

Your Attitude Towards Failure Determines Your Altitude After Failure.

Talent Is A Gift, But Our Character Is A Choice. Talent Is Natural Ability, Our Gift From God, But We Have The Power To Determine Our Character. That Power Rests On A Foundation Consisting Of The Choices We Make In Life. And Those Choices Almost Always Dictate The Amount Of Trust Others Have In Us, And To What Level Of Leadership We Rise.

We Often Wait For The Resources Before We Make A Move.

Character Creates Consistency, And If Your People Know What They Can Expect From You, They Will Continue To Look To You For Leadership.

From That Inventory, I Lay Out My Next Year - How I Intend To Live, Make The Best Use Of Time And Maximize Adding Value To Others. Success Asks, 'how Can I Add Value To Myself?' Significance Asks, 'how Can I Add Value To Others?' It Is Your Intention That Lends Itself To Significance.
