Every change in human attitude must come through internal understanding and acceptance. Man is the only known creature who can reshape and remould himself by altering his attitude.
The size of a person is more important than the size of the problem.
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn’t always win – it’s usually the team that gets along best.
Leadership ability determines a person’s level of effectiveness.
Our days are like identical suitcases. Even though they are all the same size, some people are able to pack more into them then others. The reason? They know what to pack.
Perhaps our greatest power in life is the power to choose. Without question, choices are the most determining factor in how our lives turn out.
The great leaders in history were great not because of what they owned or earned but because of what they gave their lives to accomplish. They made a difference!
It takes a lot of people to create a success. That’s why I say that few leaders are successful unless a lot of people want them to be.
Everyone who got where he is started where he was.
No one achieves greatness by becoming a generalist. You don’t hone a skill by diluting your attention to its development. The only way to get to the next level is focus.
Big-picture thinkers broaden their outlook by striving to learn from every experience. They don’t rest on their successes, they learn from them.
Negative thinking creates clouds at critical decision times.
An attitude’s growth never stops.
A lot of people believe they are successful because they have everything they want. They have added value to themselves. But I believe significance comes when you add value to others and you can’t have true success without significance.
Always take the high road.
Not everyone will become a great leader, but everyone can become a better leader.
Your attitude determines your actions, and your actions determine your accomplishment.
When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.
Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.
Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don’t change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.
