The sum of all your thoughts comprises your overall attitude.

When you nurture people and add value to them without expecting anything in return, they feel significant.

Be willing to absorb some risk and failures to allow people freedom to express themselves.

You must find a way to get your vision seen, implemented, and contributed to by others.

People of poor character tend to blame their choices on circumstances. Ethical people make good choices regardless of circumstances. If they make enough good choices, they begin to create better conditions for themselves.

Cats do what cats do, ducks do what ducks do, and eagles do what eagles, do. If you take a duck and ask it to do an eagles' job, shame on you. As a leader, your job is to help your ducks to become better ducks and your eagles better eagles - to put individuals in the right places and help them reach their potential.

Without failure there is no achievement.
