You cannot enjoy others until you enjoy yourself because you cannot give to others what you do not have.

The only thing we can control is what we do in the present. The more we replay yesterday, the further we get from today's opportunities. And the further away we move from opportunities, the tougher the road is to get back. Opportunities never look as good coming as they do going, and they wait for no one. We need to be highly attentive to spot them. And we must be focused on our present capabilities, not past regrets.

A leader is a reader.

Everyone you know and all the people you meet have the potential to be someone important in the lives of others.

If you are too attached to your own thinking and how everything is done now, then nothing will change for the better.

Competence goes beyond words. It's the leader's ability to say it, plan it, and do it in such a way that others know that you know how - and know that they want to follow you.

Earn the right to be heard by listening to others. Seek to understand a situation before making judgments about it.
