……. proves a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.”

….. and learning are indispensable to each other.”

Rely on your own strength……

……. of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

– Noah Porter

“I have three precious things…..

…. which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”

– Lao Tzu

“A leader must lead……

When others see problems, he must see possibilities … Civilization is not built on a negation but on an affirmation- an affirmation of the bright and promising possibilities that the future holds for those who are enterprising enough to pursue them.”

– David J Vaughan

“Anybody will do for you……

 

………but not for me. I must have somebody.”
