A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. By John Maxwell

It's more important to get along with people than to get ahead of them.

Successful people make right decisions early and manage those decisions daily.

People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life.

I started out in the ministry, went to college, started as a pastor, pastored for basically 25 years. That was a good time, I really enjoyed it.

Decision-making takes care of goal-setting, but discipline also takes care of goal-getting. Decisions and discipline can't be separated; one is worthless without the other.

Over time, is it easier or harder to sustain your influence within your organization? With charisma alone, influence becomes increasingly more difficult to sustain. With character, as time passes, influence builds and requires less work to sustain.
