Nuggets of Wisdom

1. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

2. Failure people talk about problems and obstacles, successful people talk about solutions and opportunities.

3. Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave.

4. No one can predict to what heights you can soar; even you will not know until you spread your wings.

5. It is amazing how much people can get done if they do not worry about who gets the credit.

6. The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.

7. One man with courage makes a majority.

8. Duty is a very personal thing. It is what comes from knowing the need to take action and not just a need to urge others to do something.

9. If you have faith, not even sickness or death can keep you from waiting and watching---for the signs of growth and life that never end.

10. To be an inspiring leader you do not have to be the smartest, or even the hardest-working person in the group. What it does require is that you be firm---firm in your dedication to excellence, even if it makes you temporarily unpopular. Leadership doesnt mean winning popularity contests.

11. We must speak to them with our hands, before we try to speak to them with our lips---thats service.

12. If you want to be successful, be like a duck. Above the surface be calm and serene, but below the surface, paddle like HELL!

14. They said you have to use your five best players, but I found you win with the five that fit together best.

15. Temper is a funny thing. It spoils children, ruins men, and strengthens steel.

16. Goals help to organize the talents and treasures of life. Without some goal toward which to work life settles for activity rather than accomplishment.

17. If you say what you think, dont expect to hear only what you like.

18. Nothing great or new can be done without enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the flywheel, which carries your saw through the knots in the log. A certain excessiveness seems a necessary element in all greatness.

19. The stumbling block is not the impossibility of changing ourselves, not even the difficulty of changingit is that we dont want to change.

20. Communication is the key to a working organization
