Leaders are not born or made - they are self made

The great contributors in life are those who, though afraid of the knock at the door, still answer it.

We may find it convenient to live with the illusion that circumstances or other people are responsible for the quality of our lives, but the reality is that we are responsible-response-able-for our choices.

Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic

If you want to have a more pleasant, cooperative teenager, be a more understanding, empathic, consistent, loving parent. If you want to have more freedom, more latitude in your job, be a more responsible, a more helpful, a more contributing employee.

Without involvement, there is no commitment. Mark it down, asterisk it, circle it, underline it. No involvement, no commitment.

We must never be too busy to take time to sharpen the saw.
