Leaders should be reliable without being predictable. They should be consistent without being anticipated

Leaders show respect for people by giving them time.

When you cleanse yourself of a big victory, you may open yourself up to the opportunity for an even bigger victory

Visualize a wagon wheel as a complete team. A leader might be the hub of the wheel at the center. Now suppose the spokes are the connecting relationships the leader is building with people on the outer rim of the wheel. If the hub is removed, then the entire wheel collapses. In a situation like that, if a team loses the leader, the entire team collapses.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

When I had troubles, I'd go out - with basketball, you can do it by yourself, too. So you'd go out and shoot, and you'd fantasize.

You have to work hard at staying in contact with your friends so that the relationships will continue and live on... Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.
