Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

The concept of negative space may help you overcome setbacks. Nothing good can exist without its bad equivalent.

Lead people to lead people

Leaders are people who create other leaders, not more followers.

But how do you do that?

Well, you lead by example, admit mistakes, listen more than you talk, celebrates the achievements of others as good and as often as possible and most importantly you are genuinely interested in the other person’s well being!

Go on, lead!

Priorities and a fire burning within

You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasently, smilingly, nonapelogetically – to say ‘no’ to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger ‘yes’ burning inside.

Statistics of good behaviour

Do unto others 20% better than you expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error.

Linus Pauling

Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of math.

Just be a little bit kinder, better, a little bit more awesome, than you would every person want to be, it will pay off instantly.

Good rule of thumb

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.

Bill Nye

Well maybe not literally everyone know something you really want to know, but that does not matter. What matters is the idea to listen carefully. Always be open to people and their stories and never think you know enough. Breath information and knowledge like you breath air after a long dive!
