The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is the key professional and personal competency of our time.

Humility is the mother of all virtues, courage the father, integrity the child and wisdom the grandchild.

Before a performance, a sales presentation, a difficult confrontation, or the daily challenge of meeting a goal, see it clearly, vividly, relentlessly, over and over again. Create an internal "comfort zone". Then, when you get into the situation, it isn't foreign. It doesn't scare you.

True greatness will be achieved through the abundant mind that works selflessly - with mutual respect, for mutual benefit.

If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control-myself. I can stop trying to shape up my wife and can work on my own weaknesses. I can focus an being a great marriage partner, a source of unconditional love and support. Hopefully, my wife will feel the power of proactive example and respond in kind. But, whether she does or doesn't, the most positive way I can influence my situation is to work on myself, on my being.

Do what is important, not what is urgent.

Our greatest joy and our greatest pain comes in our relationships with others.
