Treat every piece of advice as a gift or a compliment and simply say, “Thank you.

Those who lead by example and demonstrate passion for what they do make it much easier for their followers to do the same.

What got you here won't get you there.

Every decision that affects our lives will be made by the person who has the power to make that decision, not the 'right' person or the 'smartest' person or the 'best' person. Make peace with this fact.

To help others develop, start with yourself! When the boss acts like a little god and tells everyone else they need to improve, that behavior can be copied at every level of management. Every level then points out how the level below it needs to change. The end result: No one gets much better.

Never confuse acquiring degrees with wisdom.

The best way that we can begin to produce positive change is to make peace with what is in ourselves and others, and then work to move forward and make life even better.
