The Importance of Work

Work is still the best way to achieve personal success and to better play our role within society: it helps in enhancing self-esteem, provides social prestige and generates income which facilitates civil and political participation. Work is, has been, and will remain the key component of the social contract. It forms the basis for creating societies of free women and men, and it is the foundation for democratic governance.

– International Labor Organization

Lead or Follow

Are you a leader or follower? The best leaders also make the best followers; however, the best followers are not always the best leaders…

The Jumping Thoughts

Did you know that energy, thoughts, ideas and feelings can jump from one person to another?  Sounds strange I know, but recent research indicates that this is a bigger problem than you can imagine.  The question is, are you transferring your thoughts to them, or are they transferring theirs to you? This is an important distinction for all leaders…

Health

Good health is like the weather, most people are so busy rushing here and there – that they don’t stop to notice how they are feeling until it is raining cats and dogs or freezing cold!

Don’t wait until you get sick to do something about your health…

Great Leadership

“Great leadership lies in the absence of ordinary.”

Power

“The supreme proof of virtue is to possess boundless power – without abusing it.”

Benchmarks

“Ambitious people aim at benchmarks. Leaders define them.”

It Is Unwise To Pay Too Much, But Worse To Pay Too Little

“It is unwise to pay too much, but it is unwise to pay too little.

When you pay too much, you lose a little money; that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything.

Because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.

It cannot be done.

If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.

There is hardly anything in the world that someone can’t make a little worse and sell a little cheaper – and people who consider price alone are this man’s lawful prey”.

– John Ruskin 1819-1900

Looking

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

Elegance

“Elegance cannot be feigned, it emanates from the very soul.”
