Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

I believe that the habit of constant reading of good books and scholarly periodicals and magazines in many disciplines is vital to give a larger perspective and to constantly sense the interdependent nature of life.

The most effective way I know to begin with the end in mind is to develop a personal mission statement or philosophy or creed. It focused on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values or principles upon which being and doing are based.

I believe that there are parts to human nature that cannot be reached by either legislation or education, but require the power of God to deal with.

Belief is another word for paradigm. It's a synonymous. Your belief of the way things are. Values are the way things should be, it's a paradigm of the way things should be. Beliefs are the paradigms of the way things are.

One thing about trust is that everyone's for it.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.
