A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

You will never fulfill your destiny doing work you despise.

Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.

All great achievers are given multiple reasons to believe they are failures. But in spite of that they persevere.

Failing Forward (2000)
