"Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord. "- J.I. Packer
"Competing is exciting and winning is exhilarating, but the true prize will always be the self-knowledge and understanding that you have gained along the way."~ Sebastian Coe
"Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves just that much harder. Quitters take bad breaks and use them as reasons to give up."~ Nancy Lopez "Thank God for competition. When our competitors upset our plans or outdo our designs, they open infinite possibilities of our own work to us."~ Gil Atkinson "It is your response to winning and losing that makes you a winner or a loser."~ Harry Sheehy “Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.”
"Life is not about the people who act true to your face. It is about the people who remain true behind your back."
"Don't always try to be popular. It isn't possible for everyone to like you. It's far more important for you to like yourself. And when you respect yourself, strangely, you get more respect than when you court it from others." ~ Joyce Brothers
"He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce."~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "I fear no one, but I respect everyone." ~ Roger Federer "The respect of those you respect is worth more than the applause of the multitude." ~ Arnold Glasow Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them ... every day begin the task anew.
~ Saint Francis de Sales Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
~Jack Canfield Author, Chicken Soup for the Soul "All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual" ~ Albert Einstein
"Too often, managers think that people development occurs once a year in performance reviews. That's not even close. It should be a daily event, integrated into every aspect of your regular goings-on. Customer visits are a chance to evaluate your sales force. Plant tours are an opportunity to meet promising new line managers. A coffee break at a meeting is an opening to coach a team member about to give his first major presentation. Think of yourself as a gardener, with a watering can in one hand and a can of fertilizer in the other. Occasionally you have to pull some weeds, but most of the time, you just nurture and tend. Then watch everything bloom." ~ Jack Welch "The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work." ~ Agha Hasan Abedi "Leadership is not magnetic personality—that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not 'making friends and influencing people'—that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations." ~ Peter F. Drucker |
