Limitless
Behind me is infinite power, before me is endless possibility, around me is boundless opportunity.
True Happiness
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Never Too Old
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
C. S. Lewis
The Value
The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains whit it, but in what one pays for it - what it costs us.
Nietzsche
Fight For It
Even if fate means you to lose, give him a good fight anyway.
William McFee
Learning
You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it's because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over.
Richard Branson
Don't be afraid of making mistakes or failing when you want to do something new. It is the greatest thrill in the world to do something new.

Focus
If you're not guided by a clear sense of purpose, you're likely to fritter away your time and energy on obtaining the most tangible, short-term signs of achievement, not what's really important to you.
Clayton M. Christensen
Motivation
Powerful motivator in our lives isn't money. It's the opportunity to learn, grow in responsibilities, contribute to others, and be recognized for achievements.
Frederick Herzberg
Management
Management is the most noble of professions if it's practiced well.
No other occupation offers as many ways to help others learn and grow, take responsibility and be recognized for achievement, and contribute to the success of a team.

Ingratitude
We remember the martyrs who died for a cause that we knew about, never those no less effective in their contribution but whose cause we were never aware of - precisely because they were successful.
Nissim Nicholas Taleb
Gossip
Why be concerned with gossip?
Because it is much easier, as well as far more enjoyable, to identify and label the mistakes of others than to recognize our own.
Questioning what we believe and want is difficult at the best of times, and especially difficult when we most need to do it, but we can benefit from the informed opinions of others.
Many of us spontaneously anticipate how friends and colleagues will evaluate our choices; the quality and content of these anticipated judgments therefore matters.
The expectation of intelligent gossip is a powerful motive for serious self-criticism.
Daniel Kahneman
Foundation
If there is little or no trust, there is no foundation for permanent success.
The Lens
We must look at the lens through which we see the world, as well as at the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.
Stephen R. Covey
