Giving people self-confidence is by far the most important thing a leader can do
– Jack Welch

You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and by falling over.

All these…
All these boundaries – Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America – are set by men. But you don’t have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man – at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader?

Power…
Power isn’t control at all; power is strength and giving that strength to others. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.
