There is nothing left but the attempt and not trying is the same as failing.

You cannot run a multimillion-dollar business like you would a lemonade stand.

You can win in business by playing checkers until someone sneaks in one night after you__e closed for the day and flips the board.

Believe in your ability to create the future. That's what leaders do-that is our job. Understand reality but never be imprisoned by it. Reality is a moment in time. The future has not yet been written-it is written by leaders.

Many of our leadership practices have gone from being tried and true to being tired and tarnished.

When you don__ have time to do your job, that__ a good indication you__e playing the wrong game.

When you see recurring problems, the methods you__e used successfully in the past have to be reevaluated.

Others control our opportunities, we control our readiness.

You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.

Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.

The best leaders want to leverage all the capabilities of the people in their organization.

To see your-self you must first be yourself, to be your-self you must first know yourself, and to know your-self you must first love your-self more than anything in the world."-Mark Miller

The glass is always completely full-half air and half liquid.

If you don't demonstrate leadership character, your skills and your results will be discounted, if not dismissed.

Cookbooks are almost a substitution for a lost sense of culture. People want some other life than the one they're living, so they buy a cookbook with pictures and imagine themselves as part of that life.
