I keep telling people that the secret of their success is discovered in their daily agenda. What they do daily is going to determine their success.

If you keep your mind active, regularly take on mental challenges, and continually think about the right things, you will develop the disciplined thinking that will help you with whatever you endeavor to do.

We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice.

My leadership began to take flight when I allowed myself to press people to change-whether they thanked me or cursed me.

Leadership, like responsibility, is a voluntary act.

Do something you hate every day, just for the practice.

What is your legacy? Are you intentional about the sort of influence you want to have on the world around you? Being aware of how you want to be remembered gives you a perspective on what is truly important. Leadership is influence, and relationships are the foundation of leadership. Nothing is more predictive of your legacy than the quality of people you surround yourself with.
