Interdependence is a higher value than independence

we're responsible for our own lives.

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

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.

Real excellence does not come cheaply. A certain price must be paid in terms of practice, patience, and persistence - natural ability notwithstanding.

Creating a warm, caring, supportive, encouraging environment is probably the most important thing you can do for your family.

Remember that our reactions are a product of our perceptions, and our perceptions are a result of what is at the center of our life.
