Leadership Nuggets from Abraham Lincoln

“People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
“Whatever you are, be a good one.”
“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all.”
“If you want to test a man's character, give him power.”
“I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.”
“Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.”
“I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.”
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
“Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.”
“Tact: the ability to describe others as they see themselves.”
“I will prepare and some day my chance will come.”
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
“He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.”

Kultúra

"A népek kultúráját az jellemzi leginkább, hogy a csoport milyen módon oldja meg a felmerülő problémákat." (Tompenaars)

Elmúlik?

"Egy buddhista szerzetes egyszer a következőt mondta nekem: >Mindazt, amit a 20 éves szerzetesi életem alatt tanultam, össze tudom foglalni egyetlen mondatban: minden, ami keletkezik, elmúlik. Ezt tudom.<" (Eckhart Tolle) - vagy legalábbis változik... optimistáknak: fejlődik :)

Ellenségek :)

"Vannak ellenségeid? Jó. Ez azt jelenti, hogy valamikor valamit felépítettél már az életedben." (Winston Churchill)
