In life, worthwhile accomplishments and acquisitions take time. Usually the better the reward, the more time it takes to acquire it.

You never fail if you know in your heart that you did the best of which you are capable.

A mentor must always guide, never push. It was my job to listen to them, offer my perspective, and encourage them to pursue the ideals they believed to be true.

Being true to ourselves doesn't make us people of integrity. Charles Manson was true to himself, and as a result, he rightly is spending the rest of his life in prison. Ultimately, being true to our Creator gives us the purest form of integrity.

What a leader learns after you've learned it all counts most of all.

It is important for us to see that our mentors are human and therefore fallible; it makes our own shortcomings more tenable.

As a leader, you will receive a large amount of praise and criticism and you should not unduly affected by either.
