Great leaders do not tell you what to do.
They show you how it is done.

It’s the smallest things that matter the most
Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results.
It sounds so simple and it may be, once you’ve mastered it. But there must be a reason why so many people worldwide struggle with long term growth and success.
They are not capable of daily improvement.
It is not about building a career or a house in one day. It is about you being a better man after every day.
Every night you lie down and go to sleep, you should ask yourself ‘Am I a better man now than I was yesterday?’ and you should answer with ‘Yes I am, because…’.
There is a great range of possibilities for reasons from ‘Today I greeted a stranger with a smile‘ to ‘Today I started my dream job’, it does not matter.
What matters is that you do not stop growing.
Grow everyday and no matter how small the growth may be, in a few months you will not recognize your former self (in a positive way).
Start today and remember: There is no room for excuses in life.

What are your beliefs?
What are your beliefs? Do you have any in particular? Do you care about them, nurture them? Do it!
One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine with only interests

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping
Try to imagine a life without timekeeping
You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie.
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.
Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.

It’s your responsibility
I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
