at you already know essentially what the outcome will be within three or four points either way. - Brandon Lee If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo. – Bruce Lee A mind at rest is a mind prepared to think clearly. - Marc Brownstein, Ad Age A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles… they don’t flock, you find them one at a time. - author unknown You should be willing to personally fail for what will seem like an interminably long period of time, and not give up. You should be willing to endure the fact that most of the people around you - particularly the well-meaning ones – are going to constantly remind you that you’re nuts. They will call you a dreamer and say there are better, safer ways to move forward in life without taking unreasonable risks. - Dean Kamen, Inventor of the Segway I will not be outworked. Period. You might have more talent than me. You might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: You're getting off first, or I'm gonna die. It's really that simple. -Will Smith Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting. - Yogi Berra The first and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile. - Plato Poverty needs no plan. It needs no one to aid it, because it is bold and ruthless. Riches are shy and timid. They have to be "attracted". - Napoleon Hill You're only human; you're supposed to make mistakes. - Billy Joel".
