The wisest among us - the genuine leaders - smile in the face of adversity.

Ive learned that everything happens for a reason, the yogi Krishnan told him. Every event has a why and all adversity teaches us a lesson... Never regret your past. Accept it as the teacher that it is.

Be spectacularly great at what you do. Wear your passion on your sleeve and hold your heart in the palm of your hand. And work hard. Really hard.

While the average person is home watching TV, the Leader Without a Title is in the gym getting stronger or at the library getting smarter or at the office getting better (or with their family growing kinder). Make this day count.

Where victims see adversity, extreme achievers see opportunity.

When you see an opportunity to change the world, get up and get the job done!

Victims make excuses. Leaders deliver results.
