uncommitted leaders. Commitment can be displayed in a full
range of matters to include the work hours you choose to maintain, how
you work to improve your abilities, or what you do for your fellow
workers at personal sacrifice.

his best for his own time has lived for all times.

Developing excellent
communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership.
The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a
sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't
get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then
having a message doesn't even matter.

Educators take something simple and make it complicated. Communicators
take something complicated and make it simple.

~John C Maxwell

Man
must resolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge,
aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method
is love.

~Martin Luther King, Jr.



There is an old
joke about a man who was asked if he could play a violin and answered,
"I don't know. I've never tried." This is psychologically a
very wise reply. Those who have never tried to play a violin
really do not know whether they can or not. Those who say too
early in life and to firmly, "No, I'm not all that musical," shut
themselves off prematurely from whole areas of life that might have
proved rewarding.

~S.I. Hayakawa
