The noble path does win but only if you are prepared to make the investment over a long period of time.

What is important is what inspires persistence and determination- in other words what you care about.

Professionals have to decide on which subjects they are prepared to give nagging rights

A true professional feels no pressure to run up a client's bill, knowing that any reduction in revenues caused by being efficient will be more than recompensed by the reputation earned for being honest and trustworthy.

Your task as a leader is to help others to succeed, not to strive only for your own success. If I don't trust your motives, nothing else will matter -because my primary concern is your integrity.

I will accept your influence, guidance and direction if (and only if) I believe that you and I share similar goals.

You cannot and should not try to please everyone. Make sure that the right people like you, and it will be expected that others will not. That's how the world works.
