Talent (a natural way of thinking, feeling, or behaving) × Investment (time spent practicing, developing your skills, and building your knowledge base) = Strength (the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance)

When we're able to put most of our energy into developing our natural talents, extraordinary room for growth exists

One's single greatest strength may be uncovering the hidden talents of another person.

Employees who report receiving recognition and praise within the last seven days show increased productivity, get higher scores from customers, and have better safety records. They're just more engaged at work.

If you want people to understand that you value their contributions and that they are important, the recognition and praise you provide must have meaning that is specific to each individual.

If we can find short-term incentives that are consistent with our long-term objectives, it is much easier to make the right decisions in the moment.

Exercise is not enough. Working out three times a week is not enough. Being active throughout the day is what keeps you healthy.
