Most people define greatness through wealth and popularity and position in the corner office. But what I call everyday greatness comes from character and contribution.

The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don't have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.

...churchgoing is not synonymous with personal spirituality. There are some people who get so busy in church worship and projects that they become insensitive to the pressing human needs that sourround them, contradicting the very precepts they profess to believe deeply.

As a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options. Looking at the balanced whole-the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives - you'll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

You can learn great things from your mistakes when you aren’t busy denying them.

People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them.

Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall.
