My mission…
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
– Maya Angelou
It is said….
It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.
– Nelson Mandela
If you…
If you wish a general to be beaten, send him a ream full of instructions; if you wish him to succeed, give him a destination, and bid him conquer.
– Augustus William Hare
Self-security will be….
Self-security will be a hallmark of the leaders and exceptional organisations of the future. Self-security in an individual or a system brings a high ratio of coherence. Leaders or organisations with self-security can push power and authority downstream and develop centers of innovation and excellence at all levels of the organization

The history…
The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
– Thomas Carlyle
Humans are…
Humans are ambitious and rational and proud. And we don’t fall in line with people who don’t respect us and who we don’t believe have our best interests at heart. We are willing to follow leaders, but only to the extent that we believe they call on our best, not our worst.
– Rachel Maddow
The adventure….
The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.
– William Arthur Ward
Leaders….
Leaders are not, as we are often led to think, people who go along with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humour, flexibility, resourcefulness, stubbornness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even when things are going badly. True leaders, in short, do not make people into followers, but into other leaders.
– John Holt
Leaders….
Leaders are the ones who keep faith with the past, keep step with the present, and keep the promise to posterity
