I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. If you can connect with others at every level -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience-your relationships are stronger, your sense of community improves, your ability to create teamwork increases, your influence increases, and your productivity skyrockets.

We tend to become what the most important person in our life thinks we will become. Think the best, believe the best, and express the best in others. Your affirmation will not only make you more attractive to them, but you will help play an important part in their personal development.

The size of a person is more important than the size of the problem.

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.

Often people fail to start or complete a task because they don't see any connection between what they're doing and what they really want to accomplish in life.

It's true that charisma can make a person stand out for a moment, but character sets a person apart for a lifetime.

Seek advice, but make sure it's from someone who has successfully handled mistakes or adversities.
