People are like sticks of dynamite. The power is on the inside, but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit.

Focus is not a 'business only' thing. Each person has only twenty-four hours per day, and how we spend those hours shows what's important in our lives. The question we must ask ourselves is...Are we focusing on what really matters?

From the moment we wake up each morning to the time we hit the pillow at night, we hear what people have to say, but are we really listening?

What happens when you believe something with all your heart? Belief fuels enthusiasm, and determined enthusiasm explodes into passion. It fires our souls and lifts our spirits.

An individual's yearning to reach outside his life is a seed of greatness waiting for a stream of inspiration. Carving that stream to people's hearts is a simpler task if the endeavor you are leading them into is attached to a bigger story.

Never forget, organizational values start and end with you, the leader. Whether your example is good or bad, expect most employees to follow your lead.

Dream big dreams, but never forget that realistic short-term goals are the keys to your success.
