FIND a WAY to WIN at something EVERY DAY

It doesn’t have to be big. Some of the best days are made up of one or more small victories. Those incremental wins add up to meaningful change over time.
People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Rob Siltanen

Marcia Wieder

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

John Dewey

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

We are at a point where CEOs recognize they just can't be for their shareholders. They have to be for all their stakeholders, whether it's for their schools, environment or equality for every human being.

Marc Benioff

Stay close to the people who are doing the real work in your organization.

Theodore H. White

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
