True determination is betting on your solemn decision regardless of the gloomy realities surrounding the thing you resolved to pursue.

You should author the narration of your life and organization. If you don't, someone will, and you may not like it.

Pride begins when someone starts to assume that s/he is the custodian of all truths and attempts to be right in all circumstances, which is IMPOSSIBLE!

Don't allow people to define you based on reading the abstract of your story without even reading chapter 1. Continue to write the remaining chapters.

Serious people make a decision to read your fully story before they write you off. Don't worry about those who don't have time to know you.

To grow, be humble and ask questions most of the time. When you do so, a wise and smart person sees him/herself in you and treats you with dignity. On the other hand, if you ask questions and try to learn from a shallow and fool person, s/he treats you with contempt and disrespect. Now, you know who is who...

Keep on smiling, treat people with respect, be cool even if some may not treat you the same. How people treat you doesn't change who you're.

If you respect & care about someone, give him/her direct feedback in his/her face. Please don't be coward and use proxies! Be a man/woman!!!

When someone respects you, s/he confronts you in private before taking you in public and/or stabbing in the back and backbiting you...

Smile and be happy because there is no one in this whole world like you. You're lucky because you're alive and breathing. Show gratitude and show it genuinely.

It's embarrassing when a leader is clueless about his/her limitations (blind spots) while his/her people are well aware and making fun out of them.

Having unceasingly grateful life requires demonstrating gratitude daily whether our daily life treats us kindly or not.

It is an illusion to worry about pride without having those things that may predispose someone to fall into the trap of pride...

You shouldn't allow people who hurt you to occupy a fraction of your heart. Forgive and move on, especially in this season of thanksgiving.

The people who care about you may not tell you your blind spots fearing to offend/hurt you. Open up and ask their feedback and get enlightened.

Whenever someone 'pretends' as perfect, never made a mistake, error, sin in his life, I know that he has never been in the field...

People attempt to create association b/n you and your values. Oh, Mary- the girl who is caring; you mean the company with quality products?

Character isn't all about becoming a saint or perfect. No one is perfect! There are areas we all are working on to improve and fine tune..
