Every sailor knows that you can't sail a ship that isn't moving forward, strong leaders understand that to change direction, you first have to create forward progress.

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

It is easier to move from failure to success in from excuses to success.

It's one thing to communicate to people because you believe you have something of value to say. It's another to communicate with people because you believe they have value.

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.

SUCCESS is when I add value to MYSELF. SIGNIFICANCE is when I add value to OTHERS.

Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.
