Life…

… can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

– Steve Jobs

Leaders are…

… creatures of their environment, but unlike most creatures, they are also movers of it. As movers of and within the organisation, they push it forward, at the same time shaping it as much as it shapes them.

– John Baldoni

 

What we…

… do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal

– Albert Pine

People are…

… always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.

– George Bernard Shaw

Twenty years…

… from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

– Mark Twain.

In the end…

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

– Max De Pree

Without…

…continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, success and achievement have no meaning.

– Benjamin Franklin

Pursuing your potential…

… yields far greater rewards than pursuing goals

– Anon

The natural…

… human inclination is to come together, combine our talents, seize the opportunities and attack the danger. When we don’t trust each other, we work against each other to protect ourselves

– Simon Sinek

Leadership…

… like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it.

– Henry Mintzberg
