- “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
–Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - “Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”
–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “Every search begins with beginner’s luck. And every search ends with the victor’s being severely tested.”
–Paulo Coelho - “Multi-tasking is dead. It never worked and it never will. Intelligent people love to sing its praises because it gives them permission to avoid the much more challenging alternative: focusing on one thing.”
–Timothy Ferriss - “Fight as if you are right; listen as if you are wrong.”
–Karl Weick - “Anyone can count the seeds in a melon. It takes vision to count the melons in a seed.”
–Unknown - “Before you become a leader, success is all about growing yourself. After you become a leader, success is about growing others.”
–Jack Welch - “This coffee falls into your stomach . . . sparks shoot all the way up to the brain. From that moment on, everything becomes agitated. Ideas quick-march into motion like battalions of a grand army to its legendary fighting ground, and the battle rages. Memories charge in, bright flags on high; the cavalry of metaphor deploys with a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic rushes up with clattering wagons and cartridges; on imagination’s orders, sharpshooters sight and fire; forms and shapes and characters rear up; the paper is spread with ink—for the nightly labor begins and ends with torrents of this black water, as a battle opens and concludes with black powder.”
–Honore de Balzac - “You see, when there is danger, a good leader takes the front line. But when there is celebration, a good leader stays in the back room. If you want the cooperation of human beings around you, make them feel that they are important. And you do that by being humble.”
–Nelson Mandela - “Our job is not to figure out the how. The how will show up out of a commitment and belief in the what.”
–Jack Canfield - “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s forthcoming attractions.”
–Albert Einstein - “We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up in teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing. And a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress whilst producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.”
–Gaius Petronius, AD 66 - “Now if you are going to win any battle, you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.”
–George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian - “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”
–Wayne Gretzky, as quoted by Steve Jobs in his keynote speech at MacWorld 2007, San Francisco - “A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
–Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, as quoted in Chip Heath and Dan Heath, Made to Stick, p. 28

What I’m Reading
Mark Twain: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
I'm reading this now for our book club. I haven't read it since high school. It is an amazingly well-written book. It gives you a peak into pre-civil-war America.Daniel S. Harkavy: Becoming a Coaching Leader: The Proven Strategy for Building Your Own Team of Champions
This is a critical resource for every leader. It is different than every other leadership book you have read. Guaranteed.Cliff Atkinson: Beyond Bullet Points:: Using Microsoft® Office PowerPoint® 2007 to Creat Presentations That Inform, Motivate, and Inspire
This is the best book currently available on making compelling presentations. If you use PowerPoint (or Keynote, for that matter), this is must reading. It will make you stand out from the crowd and deliver a truly stellar performance. I cannot recommend it too highly.Eugene O’Kelly: Chasing Daylight
A remarkable by the former CEO of KPMG. Diagnosed with late-stage brain cancer, O’Kelly figures out life only when he is faced with his own imminent death. Must reading!Wallace Earle Stegner: Crossing to Safety (Modern Library Classics)
This is one of the best novels I have ever read. It is an insightful story about the relationship between two couples over several decades. We read it in our book club, and it stimulated an amazing discussion.Don Colbert: Deadly Emotions: Understand the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection That Can Heal or Destroy You
This is a great book about the impact our emotions have on our physical health. I have particularly emjpyed Dr. Colbert’s discussion of stress and how to manage it.Richard Rohr: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I can’t endorse everything in the book, but it’s a book that must be savored one page at a time. It flows from a place of deep wisdom and insight.Richard Rohr: Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer
I have two books by Richard Rohr. Both of them blew me away. This book must be read in short doses. It is very potent. It is more than a book about prayer. It is a book about life.David Viney: Get to the Top on Google: Tips and Techniques to Get Your Site to the Top of the Search Engine Rankings -- and Stay There
This book is mind-blowing. If you have a Web site or a blog and are serious about getting it to the top of Google’s organic rankings, this is the book you need.Dr. Bob Rotella: Golf Is a Game of Confidence
From time to time, I enjoy reading books on golf psychology. This is one of the best I have read. It basically focuses on directing a golf ball like you direct any ball—you focus on where you want it to go!
