For many many years, I've taught, not only leadership, but I've taught people that they need a personal growth plan. Growth is not an automatic process for you or me or anybody.

People today are desperate for leaders, but they want to be influenced only by individuals they can trust, persons of good character.

The person who does only what he must when he is in the mood or when it's convenient isn't going to be successful.

I've never known a person focused on yesterday to have a better tomorrow.

Goals not only help you develop initial motivation by making your dreams obtainable, but they also help you continue to be motivated and that creates momentum.

The key to encouragement is in knowing what gives people courage; what spurs them on to action.

If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win but think you can't it's almost certain you won't. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. A happy person is not a person with a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. I may not be able to change the world I see around me, but I can change the way I see the world within me.
