Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven't paid the price to decide what is really important to them.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

I'm convinced that we can write and live our own scripts more than most people will acknowledge. I also know the price that must be paid. It's a real struggle to do it. It requires visualization and affirmation. It involves living a life of integrity, starting with making and keeping promises, until the whole human personality the senses, the thinking, the feeling, and the intuition are ultimately integrated and harmonized.

Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience.

What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?

If I try to use human influence strategies and tactics of how to get other people to do what I want, to work better, to be more motivated, to like me and each other-while my character is fundamentally flawed, marked by duplicity and insincerity-then, in the long run, I cannot be successful. My duplicity will breed distrust, and everything I do-even using so-called good human relations techniques-will be perceived as manipulative.

Reducing children to a test score is the worst form of identity theft we could commit in schools.
