If you want to reach your potential and become the person you were created to be, you must do much more than just experience life and hope that you learn what you need along the way. You must go out of your way to seize growth opportunities as if your future depended on it. Why? Because it does. Growth doesn't just happen--not for me, not for you, not for anybody. You HAVE TO go after it.
John C. MaxwellIf you want to become a better listener, however you need to learn to direct that energy and attention positively by concentrating on the person you're with.
John C. MaxwellSuccess is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
