Good enough…

Good enough never is.

– Anon

When I….

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

– John Lennon

Life’s…..

Life’s most urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’

– Martin Luther King

The true leader….

The true leader is always led

–  Carl Gustav Jung

I never had…

I never had much faith in leaders. I am willing to be charged with almost anything, rather than to be charged with being a leader. I am suspicious of leaders, and especially of the intellectual variety. Give me the rank and file every day in the week. If you go to the city of Washington, and you examine the pages of the Congressional Directory, you will find that almost all of those corporation lawyers and cowardly politicians, members of Congress, and miss-representatives of the masses — you will find that almost all of them claim, in glowing terms, that they have risen from the ranks to places of eminence and distinction. I am very glad I cannot make that claim for myself. I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks.

– Eugene V Debs

 

Success is …

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which have been overcome while trying to succeed.

— Booker T. Washington

Indeed…

Indeed, this life is a test. It is a test of many things – of our convictions and priorities, our faith and our faithfulness, our patience and our resilience, and in the end, our ultimate desires.

– Sheri Dew

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?

– Hakeem Olajuwon

Life’s….

Life’s most persistent question is what are you doing for others?

– Martin Luther King Jr

Those of us….

Those of us who submitted or surrendered our ideas and dreams and identities to the ‘leaders’ must take back our rights, our identities, our responsibilities.

– Maya Angelou
