11. And when personal gratification takes priority over ethics and integrity in business and in our personal lives.
12. But before we can lead others we must first rule ourselves. True nobility is achieved in servant-leadership, when the ‘greatest of all’ make themselves ‘last of all and servant of all.’
13. We must discover who we are inside. We must believe in ourselves. A positive attitude correlates much more highly with success in life than a high GPA.
14. We must accept our ‘response-ability’ – our unique human ability to determine our response no matter the stimuli or circumstances of our lives.
15. We must also recognize our infinite potential within.
16. The human brain is the greatest computer ever ‘invented,’ yet scientists say we use less than 10% of it. What if we could tap 100%?
17. Our capabilities would increase not tenfold but rather a thousandfold. I’m here to help you tap into your infinite potential.
18. Yet it ultimately takes synergy (people working together) to make something really special occur.
24. Don’t look back when you’re old and say: ‘I could have done great things if only I weren’t so busy doing little things.’
25. Ask yourself: ‘What one thing could I be doing differently now that would make all the difference?’ Then do it!
26. Don’t let the things that truly matter be sacrificed to the gods of self-indulgence OR triviality -- demands of life that have little enduring importance.
27. Plan your path to greatness. Adapt as needed... … but never, ever give up.
28. Figure out your life’s mission – and always keep the No. 1 thing the No.1 thing.
29. Your voyage won’t always be smooth, but keep focused on the star that leads to your lifetime goals.
30. Plan each step, and keep climbing one small step after another. And if you fall, pick yourself up and start again.
31. Along the way, be genuine. Share your inner self with others.
32. Be brave within yourself and encouraging to others around you.
33. Have empathy for others. Truly listen and feel their needs as your own. Lead by example, and serve with love.
34. And, ultimately, our greatest joys in life will be in the relationships we build with those who journey with us.
35. All of our achievements will be meaningless if we end our journey all alone.
36. Smile a lot. Truly appreciate all the blessings of life.
