I wanted…
I wanted the influence. In the end I wasn’t very good at being a president. I looked out of the window and thought that the man cutting the lawn actually seemed to have more control over what he was doing.

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.

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.

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

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.

All blame…
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for… reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.

I’m not…
I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.
– Niccolo Machiavelli
Saving…
Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth… these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women’s empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.
– Ban Ki-moon
