If we can stop, listen, and think about what others are seeing in us, we have a great opportunity. We can compare the self that we want to be with the self that we are presenting to the rest of the world. We can then begin to make the real changes that are needed to close the gap between our stated values and our actual behavior.

To help others develop, start with yourself.

The more we are committed to believing that something is true, the less likely we are to believe that its opposite is true, even in the face of clear evidence that shows we are wrong.

Anybody can change, but they have to want to change.

People will do something—including changing their behavior—only if it can be demonstrated that doing so is in their own best interests as defined by their own values.

Never confuse acquiring degrees with wisdom.

Lasting goal achievement requires lots of time, hard work, sacrifice & dedication to a process that is maintained over years.
