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.

The value you receive from reflective thinking will depend on the kinds of questions you ask yourself.

People may teach what they know, but they reproduce what they are.

The length and breath of our influence on others are directly related to the depth of our concern for them.

Negative expectations are a quick route to dead-end thinking.

You can easily determine the caliber of a person by the amount of opposition it takes to discourage him or her.

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.
