In the end…

In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be, by remaining what we are.

We cannot…

We cannot wait for great visions from great people, for they are in short supply. It is up to us to light our own small fires in the darkness.

People…

People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

– Michelle Obama

Innovation…

Innovation is the central issue in economic prosperity.

The best CEO’s I know are teachers, and at the core of what they teach is strategy.

The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.

The company without a strategy is willing to try anything.

Leaders…

Leaders must pick causes they won’t abandon easily, remain committed despite setbacks and communicate their big ideas over and over again in every encounter.

People…

People are very open-minded about new things, as long as they’re exactly like the old ones.

Plans…

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.

You need…

You need people who can walk their companies into the future rather than back them into the future.

You are…

You are educated.

Your certification is in your degree.

You may think of it as the ticket to the good life.

Let me ask you to think of an alternative.

Think of it as your ticket to change the world.

– Tom Brokaw

You…

You may not be able to change a situation, but with humour you can change your attitude about it.

– Allen Klein
