People who blame others for their failures never overcome them. They simply move from problem to problem. To reach your potential, you must continually improve yourself, and you can't do that if you don't take responsibility for your actions and learn from your mistakes.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character.

The real test of leadership isn't where you start out. It's where you end up.

You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the higher levels of influence, you have to work with individuals.

Everything is a tradeoff. Everywhere you leave, you leave some good things. The more successful you are, the harder it is to make tradeoffs. That's why some people become successful and then become flat. Be willing to give up income for potential, for opportunity.

How do leaders serve their people? They may pay good wages and treat employees with respect.
