To do something really big, let go of your ego, and get ready to be part of a team.

The only thing a title can buy is a little time-either to increase your level of influence with others or to undermine it.

Thinking is hard; that's why so few do it.

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.

Might you be missing opportunities because you have been too quick to ask how instead of why?

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.

Grow a leader-grow the organization. A company cannot grow without until its leaders grow within.
