Work on These

"Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge."
--Plato

Genius

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

-Thomas Edison

Have to follow through.

No Limits

"Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world."

--Arthur Schopenhauer

If you think you can't, you're probably right.

Finishing

"Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one’s horse as he is leaping."

-Augustus Hare

Finish what you start and have faith in what you are doing.

Not a Morning Person

"Start everyday with a smile and get it over with."

-W.C. Fields

This is the hardest part of my day ;->.

Perception

 

"Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by the sense of touch, because everyone can see but only a few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion."

--Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

Want to go somewhere?  Think outside the box and do everything with integrity.

Paying the Price

"Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal."
--Vince Lombardi

This quote meant much more to me after I attending a mass leadership conference at the New Orleans Arena last year.  It's 15,000 people in a room that think they'll become leaders by listening to these posers trying to sell them materials.  You either got it or you don't.

Priorities

"Having a vision is the most important thing. Set priorities and stick to them."

--Joseph Nye

I don't agree with most of what this guy says, but I'm definitely with him on this one.

Focus on What You Know

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.  Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
--Mark Twain

It's easy to follow the latter, but it's how mentally strong you are able to be to see through the former.
