3. Seeds of Greatness


It's Up to Me by Denis Waitley
Life is a do-it-for-others, do-it-yourself project.

Stop stewing and start doing! Take action TNT. Today, Not Tomorrow.

Life is not accountable to us for meaning; we are accountable to life!

Don’t put success and happiness on layaway. Do it now!

Everything that is past is either a learning experience to grow on, a beautiful memory to reflect on, or a motivating factor to act upon.

You have been given the greatest power in the world, the power to choose.

Giant oaks do grow from little acorns; but first you must have an acorn!

By thinking and acting affirmatively in this minute, you will influence the hour, the day, and in time, your entire life.

You are your own scriptwriter and the play is never finished, no matter what your age or position in life.

Communication: A Leader's Key to Success by John C. Maxwell
For my whole life, I have opened my car door by inserting a metal key into a physical lock. Now, I can unlock the doors and start the car at the push of a button. It seems like magic to me, but it’s actually a simple application of science.

Keyless entry and keyless ignition are made possible when a transmitter within your key fob communicates with a radio receiver inside the car. Two conditions are necessary for this communication to take place: 1) the transmitter must be set to the same frequency as the receiver, and 2) the transmitter must send a uniquely coded message which the receiver has been programmed in advance to recognize.

Communication acts as a leader’s “keyless entry” into relationships. It can open the mind of an employer, the wallet of investors, and the hearts of loved ones. Talented communicators seem magical when they weave their words together. However, much like the concept of keyless entry, great communication depends on two simple skills—context and delivery. Context attunes a leader to the same frequency as his or her audience. Delivery allows a leader to phrase messages in a language the audience can understand.
