If you don’t try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get.

Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.

Where there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present.

The true measure of leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.

One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.

Even if you've had a negative effect on others in the past, you can turn that around and make your impact a positive one.

Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Don't ever underestimate the power of planning. You can't make your vision come to life unless you outline each goal-driven step at a time. And you can't reach your full potential unless you plan how to make the most of your purpose and passion. When you look around and see people who are the captains of their ship, invariably they have taken pains to chart their successful course through life.
