For the real winners, there are no finish lines.

No one ever went broke by saying no too often.

Failure is not falling down but staying down.

Pay attention to those employees who respectfully ask why. They are demonstrating an interest in their jobs and exhibiting a curiosity that could eventually translate into leadership ability.

You'll always get the good news; it's how fast you get the bad news that counts.

Just because an employee does things differently doesn't mean he or she won't do the job right or as well. If you establish expectations of the goal and the standards to follow, then methodology shouldn't be an issue.

There will always be someone with a cuter girl, a bigger car, a bigger home, but that does not matter. You measure your own performance by your own potential. That's what makes a successful person.
