Do the work or take the credit

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group. There is much less competition.

Succesful Man

Every succesful man I have heard of has done the best he could with conditions as he found them, and not waited until the next year for better.

Strong People

Strong people make as many and as ghastly misatkes as weak people. The difference is that strong people admit them, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they became strong.

Great Leaders

"All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common:

it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership."
