3. “The challenge of leadership
is to be strong, but not rude;
be kind, but not weak;
be bold, but not bully;
be thoughtful, but not lazy;
be humble, but not timid;
be proud, but not arrogant;
have humor, but without folly.”
-Jim Rohn
15. Covey says…
“Your language is a good indicator of how
you see yourself. A proactive person uses
proactive language--I can, I will, I prefer,
etc. A reactive person uses reactive
language--I can't, I have to, if only. Reactive
people believe they are not responsible for
what they say and do--they have no
choice.”
