“I believe all of us can identify with the poet Carl Sandberg, who said, “There is an eagle in me that wants to soar and a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” The key to success is following the impulse to soar more than the desire to wallow. And that is a never-ending struggle—at least it has been for me. I believe any successful person would be honest in saying, “I got to the top the hard way—fighting my own laziness and ignorance every step of the way.”

John C. Maxwell

“A young concert violinist was asked the secret of her success. She replied, “Planned neglect.” Then she explained, “When I was in school, there were many things that demanded my time. When I went to my room after breakfast, I made my bed, straightened the room, dusted the floor, and did whatever else came to my attention. Then I hurried to my violin practice. I found I wasn’t progressing as I thought I should, so I reversed things. Until my practice period was completed, I deliberately neglected everything else. That program of planned neglect, I believe, accounts for my success.”

John C. Maxwell

“The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it.”

“You must do right before you feel good.”

“Occasionally someone will ask me about how ego fits into the leadership equation. They’ll want to know what keeps a leader from having a huge ego. I think the answer lies in each leader’s pathway to leadership. If people paid their dues and gave their best in obscurity, ego is usually not a problem.”

John C. Maxwell

“Think, Act, Talk, and Conduct Yourself Like the Person You Want to Become”

John C. Maxwell

“The respect that leadership must have requires that one’s ethics be without question. A leader not only stays above the line between right and wrong, he stays well clear of the ‘gray areas.”

John C. Maxwell

“Your attitude colors every aspect of your life. It is like the mind's paintbrush.”

John C. Maxwell

“you must be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way.”

John C. Maxwell

“Everyone is important, but everyone isn’t equal. The person with greater experience, skill, and productivity in a given area is more important to the team in that area.”

John C. Maxwell

“German poet Herman Hesse wrote, “If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.” I agree with his viewpoint.”

John C. Maxwell

“In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand.” 

John C. Maxwell

“successful people make right decisions early and manage those decisions daily.”

John C. Maxwell

“Silent gratitude isn’t much good to anyone.”
