Hold yourselves accountable before you are held accountable.
Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.
If you lose money for the firm, I will be forgiving. If you lose reputation, I will be ruthless.
You’ll never achieve 100 percent if 99 percent is okay.
Will what I am about to do bring me closer to, or take me further from my goals?
Put all excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable.
Nothing works unless you do the work.
Victims make excuses. Leaders deliver results.
Leaders don’t make excuses. They create results.
The excuses we make destroy the results we deserve.
We create our own destiny by the way we do things. We have to take advantage of opportunities and be responsible for our choices.
You can’t dodge your responsibilities by saying they don’t exist!
I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.
You cannot fix what you will not face.
We are the choices we make.
We’re all flawed heroes. Responsibility is power. Take responsibility for the consequences of your actions, and the world is yours. Everything is a choice.
You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way, you’re accountable.
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
