People are funny. When they are young, they will spend their health to get wealth. Later, they will gladly pay all they have trying to get their health back.

If your desire is a 10 but your self-esteem is a 5, you'll never perform at the level of a 10. You'll perform as a 5 or lower. People are ever able to outperform their self-image.

Followers are always watching what you do. And people do what people see! If you are a leader seeking to make your vision come alive, then there is no better way to accomplish this than by living it: Modeling your expectations, setting the example by your actions, and showing the way through leading. Your followers, who are watching, will see in you the living picture of the vision, and you will produce the energy, motivation and passion to keep it going.

To be successful, you can't just run on the fast track; run on your track.

If a leader cannot give you a clear picture of what he or she sees in the future, that person is not the leader of that organization.

If people around you don't believe in you, if they don't encourage you, then you need to find some people who do.

If you're not failing, you're probably not really moving forward.
