Success each day should be judged by the seeds sown, not the harvest reaped.

Big-picture thinkers broaden their outlook by striving to learn from every experience. They don't rest on their successes, they learn from them.

I think once a person realizes that they are every day either sowing into their life either potential success, or sowing into their life potential failure, they would all of a sudden go okay, I've got to figure out what I'm going to do.

..Give them your faith, and they become confident, energized, and self-reliant.

There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.

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.

Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.
