A Few Words to the Wise From the Wise

If you've never had the opportunity to listen to a motivational speaker, then you are really missing something! The whole atmosphere is totally charged with positive energy, and everyone leaves pumped and ready to go out and conquer the world. But even when we can't be at one of these terrific motivational events, the words of these leaders and great leaders through history are always here to guide us. Read on and be inspired!

Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu: "True leaders inspire people to do great things, and, when the work is done, their people proudly say, We did this ourselves'."

Be a Good Leader! Bring Out Your Inner Child!

Studies have shown that successful leaders have something very interesting in common; they all demonstrate certain positive personality traits that are normally associated with children. If you consider yourself a good leader, check and see if these characteristics apply to you!

Like a child who is totally unencumbered by the biases and judgments of the adult world, a good leader has a genuine enthusiasm for people. Leaders, like children are very good at accepting people for what they are, not what they would like them to be, and for celebrating an individual's uniqueness as a good thing and not something that needs to be judged.

Conquering the Need For Instant Gratification

Most of us have important goals that we hope to accomplish. Our intentions are good and our plans are often well thought out and well focused. We move ahead quickly towards accomplishing what we set out to do, but then all to soon we falter, stop and maybe even give up. Why? Because our instant efforts have not produced instant results. We get too tied up in finding that instant gratification that equates to success. But rarely will we ever see results as soon as we would like. So how do we keep moving forward while waiting to see results? How do we learn to wait patiently for some sign of success? How do we stay motivated to continue when human nature says that such a slow return on our investment must be a sure sign that our plans and goals are flawed? The answer is really quite simple. We need to better understand how the whole process works; in other words, we have to learn to accept how the principles of effort and return really work.
