Leadership
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.
Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
Loyalty is a two way street.
Sports
Our best efforts, combined with those of our teammates, grow into something far greater and far more satisfying than anything we could have achieved on our own.
A pass is not a pass unless it is received by a teammate.
Relationships
Our greatest joy and our greatest pain comes in our relationships with others.
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
An intimate relationship does not banish loneliness. Only when we are comfortable with who we are can we truly function independently in a healthy way, can we truly function within a relationship. Two halves do not make a whole when it comes to a healthy relationship: it takes two wholes.
