An investment…

…. in knowledge always pays the best interest

… courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do

Vision….

…without execution is hallucination

I think leadership….

…. comes from integrity – that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are non-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a neighbor makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things. Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity

~ Scott Berkun

Help others…

…. get ahead. You will always stand taller with someone else on your shoulders.

… man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times

We have found….

…that by reaching for what appears to be the impossible we often actually achieve the impossible
