Do….

…or do not ….. there is no try.

– Yoda

Leaders must be….

… tough enough to fight,

tender enough to cry,

human enough to make mistakes,

humble enough to admit them,

strong enough to absorb the pain,

and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.

– Jesse Jackson

A community….

….. is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.

– Henrik Ibsen

Visionary people…

… face the same problems everyone else faces; but rather than get paralyzed by their problems, visionaries immediately commit themselves to finding a solution

– Bill Hybels

A man…

who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd

– Max Lucado

Challenge is…..

… the opportunity for greatness. People do their best when there is an opportunity to change how things currently stand. Maintaining the status quo facilitates mediocrity. Those who embrace this practice do not wish to rest on their laurels. They motivate others to exceed their limits and look for innovative ways to improve the organisation.

– J Kouzes & B Posner

When nothing….

is sure, everything is possible

– Margaret Drabble

It’s not…

…whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up

– Vince Lombardi

Courage is…

… what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen

– Winston Churchill

Keep your….

… fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others

– Robert Louis Stevenson
