Success comes when we wake up every day in that never-ending pursuit of why we do what we do.

Leaders are the ones who have the courage to go first, to put themselves at personal risk to open a path for others to follow.

We are drawn to leaders and organizations that are good at communicating what they believe. Their ability to make us feel like we belong, to make us feel special, safe and not alone is part of what gives them the ability to inspire us.

Work with people who believe what you believe.

The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed even though you bear the responsibility for getting things done.

Champions are not the ones who always win races - champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. 'Champion' is a state of mind. They are devoted. They compete to best themselves as much if not more than they compete to best others. Champions are not just athletes.

Look down from as high as possible. Look ahead as far as you can see. Then decide what to do.
