Life’s most…
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others?
– Martin Luther King Jr
Self-actualisation…
Self-actualisation takes motivation, determination and discipline. Like everyone else, leaders must develop their brains over time and live with greater consciousness and awareness to become the leader they were meant to be.

The greatest danger…
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

Enlightened leadership…

– Deepak Chopra
It is only when…
It is only when people begin to shake loose from their preconceptions, from the ideas that have dominated them, that we begin to receive a sense of opening, a sense of vision…That is the sort of time we live in now. We…live in an epoch in which the solid ground of our preconceived ideas shakes daily under our uncertain feet.

A human being…
A human being is a part of the whole called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
– Albert Einstein
Leaders….
Leaders make things possible. Exceptional leaders make them inevitable.

Any intelligent man…
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
– E.F. Schumacher
