Tenacious people don't rely on luck, fate, or destiny for their success. And when conditions become difficult, they keep working.

The collective influence of you and the other leaders will bring the rest along. If this does not happen, divided interest and loyalty will occur within the group.

It is our decisions not our conditions that determine our quality of life.

Knowing the future is difficult, controlling the future is impossible. Knowing today is essential; controlling today is possible.

Like every person, every thought has the potential to become something great.

As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. We cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. We cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. We cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. Too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. Too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
