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

Character makes trust possible, and trust is the foundation of leadership.

Look behind you: What have you learned? Look around you: What is happening to others? Look above you: What does God expect of you? Look besides you: What resources are available to you?

It takes a lot of people to create a success. That's why I say that few leaders are successful unless a lot of people want them to be.

The real test of leadership isn't where you start out. It's where you end up.

Stay focused instead of getting offended or off track by others.

So think long and hard about who you're spending the most time with, for wherever they are headed, so are you.
