I believe in what you see is what you get, but I also believe in what you see is getting better!

I believe in what you see is what you get, but I also believe in what you see is getting better.

All the calculus, quantum mechanics and languages in the world are worthless pieces of information, if they are not brought to the service of the society.

Education is not the amount of information that is pushed into the brain and causes havoc there, undigested all through a lifetime. Education must be a symposium of life-building, character- making and assimilation of ideas in the pursuit of building a more harmonious, peaceful and truly civilized world.

Leaders cannot build a successful nation once they are yoked to these two evils, ignarance and greed.

There can never be someone greater at being you than you.

A crisp, clean $100 bill that is crumbled up, thrown to the ground, stepped on and rubbed in the dirt still maintains its value.Life may crumble you, throw you to the ground, step on you and rub you in the dirt, but you still maintain your value.Just as a crumbled up $100 bill still has purchasing power, your life still has purposeful power; and nothing or no one can ever take that away from you.

Never mind the mistakes. One day they will become your most prized possessions.

Sow the seeds of weakness and inferiority in the kids and they’ll grow up to be inferior, crawling, insignificant insects. Sow the seeds of courage and they’ll become brave-heart leaders who will one day change the course of human history.

Character- building education is what the world needs – education, that will empower the mind with such an unimaginable strength that one would meet death face to face and say “some other time, pal!

If you don’t allow one to become a lion, one will become a sheep. And the world is already filled with sheeps, which is the major cause of the society’s intellectual and moral downfall. For a better future to evolve, where humanism will be an all-pervading virtue and separatism will be a matter of ancient history, the world needs lions.

Pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.

Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to hire only within their borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labor when there is a national employment crisis. Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.

Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and airlines, but also families from losing their homes -- or jobs due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader who will fund schools, not limit spending on education and allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy over war. An honest broker in foreign relations. A leader with integrity, one who says what they mean, keeps their word and does not lie to their people. Pick a leader who is strong and confident, yet humble. Intelligent, but not sly. A leader who encourages diversity, not racism. One who understands the needs of the farmer, the teacher, the doctor, and the environmentalist -- not only the banker, the oil tycoon, the weapons developer, or the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyist.

Whatever you do, do it as a master, not as a slave.

If you want to be drunk, become drunk with an idea.

If you want to be drunk, become drunk with an idea. If you want pleasure, have pleasure from the pursuit of your passion. If you want to be indoctrinated, then be so by the natural law of humanism.

The world needs something from you, my friend. It needs the heart that is deep as the ocean and infinite as the outer-space. Can you provide that my friend! Can you make your will so large and your conscience so sharp that in front of which, a thousand Everests and a thousand Kilimanjaros would bow!

The Human Self is the only friend and savior to all humanity.

The world needs courage and conscience that can penetrate into the darkest mysteries and secrets of the universe.

Be excellent in your own terms.

The world needs gigantic strong wills in front of which even the mountains will be crumbled.

Character is what the world needs - character that will empower the mind with such an unimaginable strength that one would meet death face to face and say “some other time, pal!

What I want from you comrade, what the world wants from you, O dearest, are the neurons of steel, within which dwells a mind of the same material of which the thunderbolt is made.

I – the eternal idea of oneness, have said this before – and now in the century 21st, say once again - Awake, my friend! Arise, my friend! Start walking my friend! And do not stop until you bring the change you wish to see in your society!

Love opens the most impossible gates in the world. Feel, therefore, my would-be patriots. Do you feel? Do you feel that millions of your sisters and brothers are starving today and have been in such condition for ages? Do you feel my dear soldiers? Do you feel that the light of truth has become much scarier to the society than the darkness of ignorance? Does this not make you restless? Does this not make you sleepless? Has it not gone into your blood yet, coursing through your veins, becoming resonant with your heart-beat? Are you not yet seized with the one idea of lifting the misery from the society? Have you not been yet immersed in this idea, so much so that, you have forgotten your name, your fame, your property and even your very physical existence as a flesh and blood being? Have you done that yet? That is the very first step of the real education my friend. Your world needs heroes. Be Heroes!

I’ve never been motivated by money – it doesn’t drive Me.

When picking a leader, choose a peacemaker. One who unites, not divides. A cultured leader who supports the arts and true freedom of speech, not censorship.

Mothers and fathers are born everywhere. What the world needs are leaders.

Leadership by deception isn't leadership. It's fraud.

Politics means implementation of the best ideas for the society in the path of wellbeing and progress.

Politics means implementation of the best ideas for the society in the path of wellbeing and progress. This is the approach that gave the world, leaders of glorious characters such as Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Subhas Chandra Bose (the actual man behind India’s Independence), Vasil Levski (the man who liberated Bulgaria from the Ottoman oppression), Nelson Mandela and many more. These people were technically politicians too, but unlike the majority of the politicians ofmodern society, their approach to politics was what it should be in a real system of politics.

One of the most important qualities of a president is the ability to inspire, to bring people together for the common good.

Leadership grows like tall trees. It needs both toughness and flexibility - toughness for accountability - flexibility to adapt changes with a compassionate & caring heart for self and others.

In essence, leadership is the sense of calling to a higher purpose.

Make a difference, change the game for the better, leave a legacy, be a guide that someone else can follow and make better, and then someone else will follow that and make that better.

Great leaders have three things; inner light, inner vision and inner strength.

Be the start of something that is good, revolutionary and powerful. Everything after that is a bonus!

Following trends on social media will not lead to social consciousness.

Leadership needs continuous learning from experience. Every time you learn something new, you re-wire your brain.

Self- reliance is the greatest of all virtues my friend.

Self is All. (First Principle of Humanism)

Mark you, no Krishna can clear your eyes and make you look with a broader vision upon life in your march upward and onward, until the Self within you morphs into Krishna – until the Self morphs into Buddha – until the Self turns into Christ.

Only you can save yourself.

There is too much negativity in the world. Do your best to make sure you aren't contributing to it.

If a leader wants his people to do something, he himself must firstly do it!

Help does not come from anywhere outside - it comes only from within ourselves.

Awake, O brave one! Arise, O lion-heart! Be the messenger that spreads compassion.

A fool can't help but be a fool, but when others follow, he makes a fool of us all.

The most attractive thing about you should have less to do with your face or body and more to do with your attitude and how you treat people.

You Are At Different Levels With Different People.

Fair-minded people earn the respect of their colleagues rather than demanding it.

Stop grovelling and start working.

You are born to build the society, not to follow it.

The world needs heroes. Be a hero and build your part of the world.

You don't die when your body stops functioning. You die when your name is uttered for the last time in the world.

Throw away the newspapers. Discard all the useless debates and gossiping. Start working in silence. Start working on your passion. And make the news yourself.

Have patience and keep working. Everything will come alright in time.

A humble learner of today becomes a strong leader of tomorrow.

To the degree you experience a love deficit you will also manifest a leadership deficit.

People who follow you want to know in their hearts what you are willing to sacrifice for them. Your followers don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care for their welfare. Leading to succeed begins with servant leadership.

Democracy is not simply a license to indulge individual whims and proclivities. It is also holding oneself accountable to some reasonable degree for the conditions of peace and chaos that impact the lives of those who inhabit one’s beloved extended community.

Although it is great to know, it is better to be told, 'I love you.' Whose day can you make better today by simply saying, 'I love you?' Now do the thing you know better to do.

If you have allowed a laborious lifestyle to suppress your dreams, then NOW is the time to take a STAND and give yourself PERMISSION to DREAM again! Now remove the clutter in your life and make PLANS to make your dreams a reality.

If you're not reaching back to help anyone then you're not building a legacy.

Be true to who you are. Don't let the world tell you who to be.

In leadership, the way up is down. Serve before you get served

Don’t just timidly swing at the problems in your life, swing hard enough to knock them out! Small efforts produce small results, big efforts produce big results!

Leadership is a conversation.

Leaders inspire accountability through their ability to accept responsibility before they place blame.

True leadership is not defined by notoriety, power, prestige, status, or job title.

With a little care for each other in the business world,we create a better one. A world in which human beings look after their fellow humans.

Just do what you were going to do, before you said you were going to do it.

I am not smart, I pay attention.I am not considerate, I listen.I am not patient, I make time. I’m not lucky, I work hard.

The Bible is the greatest book ever written. It is absolutely amazing the tremendous amount of joy, peace, and success one will experience simply by applying its admonition. If you truly want the “Good Life” follow the Good Book.

As you become more present in your own life, you will begin to enlighten others by your example.

In all spheres of life, there are constraints. You have to develop your own strategy to overcome each constraint.

Powerful leaders use their position of power to empower others.

When you see an obstacle approaching, grab your courage and speed up.

The leader must have both – the courage to take the people to a daring destination and the humility to selflessly serve others on the journey.

The bigger the victory, the bigger the battle. Still, be the light and a change agent for healing, restoration and transformation.

Integrity is the soul of leadership! Trust is the engine of leadership!

Cultivating spiritual intimacy is essential for leaders to live a vibrant missional life.

A leader has a great duty. You have to perform beyond the expectation of the people.

There are no self made heroes or leaders. No matter how rugged or self assured, everyone requires a cast of players - friends, mentors, lovers, critics, villains and supporters - who call, invite, seduce, goad and encourage them to finally step into their true power. We are all heroes and leaders in some way, and we all need each other.

When taking on a leadership role in business remember it's about relationships. If your people (aka employees) are taken care of then they will respect you and return the favor.

Because discipline is misunderstood or not as valued as it has been, the United States—and some might argue the world—is experiencing a cultural leadership crisis.

You cannot climb up to a true leadership position unless you use the ladder of integrity!

Every time you invite a candidate to interview, you should expect to be interviewed, too.

Without Purpose, LIVING is downgraded to Breathing a boring routine of inhaling oxygen - waiting to exhale

Simple life EthosIf you must judge. Let your moral beacon guide you to a decision you can live with,If you feel generous, give with humility so others could live with dignity,If you became aware of injustice, your inaction or silence are part of it,Living life without courage, is like living without honour,If your arrogance started to control your behavior, then it's time for you to stratify to heaven where there are no earthly human beings Never live behind the rocks. Always move to find comfort in brighter places, andAlways deem yourself to be courageous when others call upon you.......

Remember the many compartments of the heart, the seed of what is possible. So much of who we are is defined by the places we hold for each other. For it is not our ingenuity that sets us apart, but our capacity for love, the possibility our way will be lit by grace. Our hearts prisms, chiseling out the colors of pure light.

African leaders must desire to liberates it’s people through intensive education (formal and informal). The African people deserve to be educated.

God does not need just ability but availability

Solitude helps the soul remember that life andwork have two completely different meanings. It remindsus that we were created for greatness in relationship withothers, not task lists and spreadsheets.

Leadership isn't about age but rather, leadership is about influence, impact & inspiration.

What do I and a diamond have in common? We are tough, brilliant, and carbon based entities which evolved into something better under immense pressure, tribulation, and trials.

He was one of life’s great helpers, for he cleaned up foul places and made them sweet.

If you are a good leader, you are a good listener.

ReThink your success mindset: In life, the stuff that really matters most, is invisible, but palpable.

Yes, it's important to inspire the next generation but let's not forget to inspire the now generation too.

The sign of a good leader is easy to recognize, though it is hardly ever seen. For the greatest leaders are those who share as equals in the trials and struggles, the demands and expectations, the hills and trenches, the laws and punishments placed upon the backs of those governed. A great leader is motivated not by power but by compassion. Therefore he can do nothing but make himself a servant to those whom he rules. Such a leader is unequivocally respected, and loved for loving.

This island has no secrets, not from me. It loves me, and I love it, and when I paint my face I'm a part of the island. The swarthiness of my face hidden behind the clay and charcoal. I leave behind England, it's not important anymore, our island is all that matters. The rhythm of the hunt, the sun, beats deep in my blood. The littl'uns play, eat, and sleep, there good for nothing and just take up precious space on my island.I couldn't have known a ship would pass at the exact moment my hunters left the fire. We needed the meat. Everything was perfect, the pigs on the mountain, the hunters and our spears, we had to go then. The hunt was perfect, the gouts and gouts of blood, the pigs death screams. But that stupid boat went by, and destroyed my trophy.Then Simon, stupid little Simon, gives the fat belligerent Fatty a piece of meat. He doesn't deserve it, the fat, ass-mar infected, fatty. The know-it-all that says he could do better, he wouldn't he'd do the exact same thing in my shoes. Damn him, damn them all! They should have just taken the meat. Then Ralph stands there and tells me I'm too malevolent. I even apologized. He doesn't deserve to be chief, he's weak. He wouldn't do it, he wouldn't kill. There's power behind the spear, impalpable to people like Ralph. We dominate those pigs. Now that we have found the way to kill the pigs, we don't even need to be rescued. It doesn't matter that there was no fire to signal the ship, because we needed the men for the hunt, and I don't regret it anymore because now we have meat.

As a leader, it’s critical to take the time to reflect in order to create a powerful vision for the company.

A visionary is a leader of excellence who sees what others do not see, who achieves for now and plans for the future, who positively impacts different generations and raises up other visionaries.

Inspiration shouldn't respond to time, rather the other way around. Time must be altered to inspiration, "Timing is wrong" NO! Timing is never wrong. Sacrifice and the likes gets thrown in at this point.

Each year's regrets are envelopes in which messages of hope are found for the New Year.

Organisations are innovating quicker than ever. Your members need to excel from being a team player to a team builder.

Great business leaders of our time stand above the crowd not because of what they do, but what they don’t do.

Great leaders create great cultures regardless of the dominant culture in the organization.

Leaders set the context and create the conditions in which individuals and organizations thrive.

Rest and comfort are two different things. Rest is a planned temporary time to refresh and refocus the leader. Comfort is when you settle into unproductive routines and accept satisfactory or unsatisfactory results.

Self-reliance is an America virtue but not a biblical value. Solomon wrote, "The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice." (Proverbs 12:15) The word 'listen' carries with it the meaning of seeking out as well as receiving advice. A lot of pain can be prevented if leaders would just check in with their coach before a making a big decision.

Missional leaders are comfortable in the own skin.

Don’t let your principles sit idle on a plaque. Bring them to life.

Thought leadership is when a leader's thoughts are being used by leaders to lead others.

There are no perfect leaders.

Effective leaders make it easy for people around them to tell the truth, to be candid and open.

There are certain people in your life and work where the relationship is more important than who is right or wrong.

When a leader is at their limit the last thing they want to hear is that they need to change even more. Maintaining good rhythms of rest, exercise and fun create more energy for a leader to be willing and open for change.

We must be present enough and receptive enough to “hear” with our whole being beyond just the words that are being spoken.

Every leader will hit a series of plateaus in their lives. The key is not to say there, because settling on a plateau can easily lead to an elongated season of comfort. Being comfortable is one of the leader's worst enemies

Learn from your experiences and past mistakes, assimilate them and convert them to formulas to achieve sustenance first , and then work your way to success to be the leaders in the market.

I believe leaders should be questioning machine, rather than an answering machine.

A boss in essence is every woman willing to try, push, succeed, fail but ultimately do the work in her lifescape to make her mark on the world the way she wants to draw it.

Attitude is your number one weapon against mediocrity.

Most employees are never made or allowed to understand the real meaning behind the work that they are doing. So, for how long can someone remain motivated about chasing something without knowing what he is chasing and why?

The answer from yesterday is not as critical as the questions about the future.

Authentic leadership is leading adaptively from your core, choosing who you’re most inspired to be to serve the greatest good in this moment.

Authentic leadership is about leading from the core of who we are to inspire each of us to our best contribution toward a shared mission.

In the future, we should anticipate seeing more hybrid wars where conventional warfare, irregular warfare, asymmetric warfare, and information warfare all blend together, creating a very complex and challenging situation to the combatants; therefore it will require military forces to posses hybrid capabilities, which might help deal with hybrid threats.

True leadership is not defined by notoriety, power, prestige, status, or job title...

Coachable people seek out those who speak truth to them, even if it is a painful truth, because it protects them and it makes them a better person and leader.

Having margins in your life strips away external voices and allows that person to remember and honor the true self within.

Effective leaders are good spotters. They are on the lookout forpotential leaders. They have the ability to look beyond other’s deficiencies tosee their possibilities.

Having a good definition of spiritual leadership is critical to developmentof leadership cultural throughout your church. You need to know what you areshooting for if you are going to hit the target.

When you don’t have time to do your job, that’s a good indication you’re playing the wrong game.

There is nothing worse for a young convert than to be thrust into leadership without mentoring and ongoing coaching because the devil relishes these vulnerable souls.

Only a person who perceives that all human beings are important can become a great leader.

One cannot lead well until one learns to follow well.

The first step out of the gate has to be knowing where you want to end up. What do you really want from your company?

Whether a chief executive officer (CEO) is applying the practices to build an organizational vision or an employee is helping a colleague resolve a problem, anyone at any organizational level can leverage leadership practices.

I strongly believe that leadership is an art, not a science. I've learned that leadership can be innate or it can be learned. However, I don't believe anyone was truly born to be a great leader. Great leaders are formed over a long period of time through a series of opportunities and experiences. Without opportunities, even the greatest natural leader among us may never become known for great leadership.

There are few second chances when it comes to establishing your leadership legacy.

Put your name on the mailbox.

Stay in your lane.

The first step to solving any problem is to accept one’s own accountability for creating it.

Being relevant to your customers only when you’re trying to sell something means choosing to be irrelevant to them for the rest of the time.

There will be plenty of other problems in the future. This is as good a time as any to get ahead of them.

The economy is in ruins! Bottom line? Good management will defeat a bad economy.

Your company is its own competition and can deliver itself debilitating blows the competition only dreams of.

Instead of waiting for a leader you can believe in, try this: Become a leader you can believe in.

The purpose of leadership is to change the world around you in the name of your values, so you can live those values more fully.

Profitability. Growth. Quality. Exceeding customer expectations. These are not examples of values. These are examples of corporate strategies being sold to you as values.

When you’re a manager, you work for your company. When you’re a leader, your company works for you.

Work/life balance is not about escaping work. It’s about living exactly the way you want to when you’re at work.

What first separates a leader from a normal human being? A leader knows who they are as a human being.

True leaders live their values everywhere, not just in the workplace.

The worst thing in your own development as a leader is not to do it wrong. It’s to do it for the wrong reasons.

When rewards come from an external source instead of an internal source, they’re unreliable, which means they’re dangerous if you grow to depend on them.

Human behavior is only unpredictable and dangerous if you don’t start from humanity in the first place.

Imagine a world where what you say synchs up, not sinks down.

Why live my personal values at work? This is an excellent question to ask. If your attorneys are planning an insanity defense.

Here’s what you need to know most about leadership: Lead your own life first. The only thing in this world that will dependably happen from the top down is the digging of your grave.

The myth of management is that your personal values are irrelevant or inappropriate at work.

It’s impossible for a company to get what it wants most if managers have to make a choice between their own values and company priorities.

Try not to take this the wrong way, but your brain is smarter than you are.

A manager’s emotional commitment is the ultimate trigger for their discretionary effort, worth more than financial, intellectual & physical commitment combined.

You can stuff yourself with emotional fulfillment until it’s dribbling down your chin & your ego will quickly chomp it down and demand more.

Your dreams and the dreams of your company may be different, but they are in no way incompatible.

Providing the ultimate solution to work/life balance: not escaping from work but living the way you want to at work.

Your company really has to work for you before you’ll really work for your company.

What companies want most from their managers is what they most stop their managers from giving. What managers want most from their jobs is what they most stop themselves from getting.

Most managers have plenty of emotional commitment to give to their jobs. If they can be convinced it’s safe and sensible to give it.

What managers want most from companies they stop themselves from getting.What companies want most from managers they stop them from giving.

This is your one and only precious life. Somebody’s going to decide how it’s going to be lived and that person had better be you.

A manager’s emotional commitment is worth more than their financial, intellectual and physical commitment combined.

Emotional commitment is a personal choice. Managers understand this even if their companies don’t.

Emotional commitment means unchecked, unvarnished devotion to the company and its success; any legendary organizational performance is the result of emotionally committed managers.

The company may have captured their minds, their bodies and their pockets, but that doesn’t mean it’s captured their hearts.

Values are deeply held personal beliefs that form your own priority code for living.

Success means: I want to know the work I do means something to somebody and helps make the world, if not a Better place, not a worse one.

Your values are your essence: an undistorted mirror showing you at your pure, attractive best.

Careful now: even a financially rewarding, intellectually stimulating work environment isn’t the same as living your own values.

Values are the individual biases that allow you to decide which actions are true for you alone.

Success for Managers means: I want to be in healthy relationships. I want a real connection with people I spend so much time with.

Let’s get right on top of the bottom line: You must live your personal values at work.

Any expert will tell you that if you want emotionally committed relationships then people must be allowed to be true to who they are.

When you’re not on your own agenda, you’re prey to the agenda of others.

Leadership creates performance in people because it impacts willingness; it’s a matter of modeling, inspiring, and reinforcing.

Management controls performance in people because it impacts skills; it’s a matter of monitoring, analyzing and directing.

To integrate one’s experiences around a coherent and enduring sense of self lies at the core of creating a user’s guide to life.

Leaders are people who know exactly who they are. They know exactly where they want to go. They’re hell-bent on getting there.

Leaders make a lot of mistakes but they admit those mistakes to themselves and change because of them.

Managers know what they want most: to be allowed to achieve success by leveraging who they are, not by compromising it.

The high quality of a company’s customer experience rarely has anything to do with the high price of their product.

Companies should be the best possible place to practice fulfillment, to live out values and to realize deep connectivity and purpose.

The heart of a company’s performance is hardwired to the hearts of its managers.

Do you think your people struggle with being true to themselves? Do their values match up with their work?

Hard-core results come from igniting the massive power of emotional commitment. Are your people committed?

When you don’t know what true for you, everyone else has unusual influence.

When leaders lack expertise, nothing else works

The greatest risk most of us will take in our lifetime is that of repression or denial of basic rights of another person. The great risk is that you have no idea what will happen if that person you think so small or insignificant of stands up and totally eclipses the Sun in the universe of those lacking in empathy, humility, and humbleness.
