John Wooden

A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.

The telephone operator and all others who may perform less “important” tasks will not feel important unless you, the leader, teach that them they are valued and explain how their contribution helps the company as a whole. Individuals who feel they don’t matter will perform their jobs as if they don’t count.

Sposobnost može da te dovede na vrh al da bi opstao na vrhu, potreban ti je karakter.

The joy and great satisfaction I derived from leadership — working with and teaching others, helping them reach their potential in contributing to the team’s common goals

Ciò che conta è quello che impari quando sai già tutto.

you should learn as if you were going to live forever, and live as if you were going to die tomorrow.

Politeness and courtesy are a small price to pay for the goodwill of others.

Never lie; never cheat; never steal. Don’t whine; don’t complain; don’t make excuses.

Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating. Youngsters need good models more than they need critics

Minor details — like pennies — add up. A good banker isn’t careless with pennies; a good leader isn’t sloppy about details.

Remember this your lifetime through:
Tomorrow there will be more to do.
And failure waits for all who stay
With some success made yesterday.
Tomorrow you must try once more,
And even harder than before.

Succeeding is performing at your best when your best is required

You never stop trying.

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books – especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

Don’t think you can make up for it by working twice as hard tomorrow. If you have it within your power to work twice as hard, why aren’t you doing it now?
