The high…
…destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule

Never….
…put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow

…always expect the very best of those around them. They know that people can change and grow.

Your time….
… is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.
– Steve Jobs
The problems…
… that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.
– Albert Einstein
While great….
leaders may be as rare as great runners, great actors, or great painters, everyone has leadership potential, just as everyone has some ability at running, acting, and painting
– Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus
Leaders are…
… people who are able to express themselves fully…they know who they are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how to fully deploy their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. They also know what they want, why they want it, and how to communicate what they want to others, in order to gain compensation and support. Finally, they know how to achieve their goals. The key to full self-expression is understanding one’s self and the world, and the key to understanding is learning – from one’s own life and experience.
– Warren Bennis
