The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority |

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. |
Fall in love with solving problems, not the solutions or technology |
Without data, you are just another person with an opinion |
Improve what you can. Accept what you can't |
A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. |
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced |
The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell |

Backbiting is the attempt of one who is incapable of doing better himself |
Patience ensure victory |
Courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything |
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. |
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts |
Necessity is the mother of invention |
He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened. |
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. |
A graceful refusal is better than a lengthy promise |
