What most people really want is to be listened to, respected, and understood.

Achievement comes to someone when he is able to do great things for himself. Success comes when he empowers followers to do great things with him. Significance comes when he develops leaders to do great things for him. But a legacy is created only when a person puts his organization into the position to do great things without him.

I really didn't settle stuff spiritually until I was 17 years of age. But through my teenage years I just knew that someday I had to settle accounts and get things straightened up and move in that direction.

One way to overcome our natural self-centeredness is to try to see things from other people's perspectives.

The timing of your decision is just as important as the decision you make.

The key choices you make-apart from the natural talent you already have-will set you apart from others who have talent alone.

The better you are at surrounding yourself with people of high potential, the greater your chance for success.
