Leading a Corporation

These very words I have heard from a source so beautiful, I was shocked to find it verbatim...

How could a person lead a corporation if he cannot even lead himself? How could you nurture a family if you haven't learned to nurture and care for yourself? How could you possible do good if you don't even feel good?

-- Robin Sharma, in The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Pg. 96

Time

Saying that you don't have time to improve your thoughts and your life is like saying you don't have time to stop for gas because you are too busy driving. Eventually it will catch up with you.

-- Robin Sharma in The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Pg. 59

Success

Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued. It must ensue. And it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.

Victor Frankl, quoted by Robin Sharma in The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, Pg. 56.

Purpose

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

Robin Sharma, Pg. 50, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
