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.

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
