MORE LEADERSHIP THOUGHTS

“Leadership does not require superiority as much as it requires service.  Leadership is not about giving what we do not have: rather, it is about giving everything that we do have.”  -Father Nathan Cromly
 
“Don’t sweat the small stuff.  Everyone makes mistakes, but the people that are respected, are those that admit and correct them.  Then, you are judged by your character, not your mistakes.  Those are the people we want to emulate.”  -Some smart guy
 
"Happiness will never be ours so long as we plan for it, reach for it, scheme for it.  The more we do those things, the unhappier we become.  If we want happiness, let’s stop grasping for it.  Instead, let’s allow happiness to fund us and to hold us in its grasp.” -Archbishop William E. Lori.
 
“Forgive quickly and believe everything happens for a reason.  Whenever you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Life is too short to wake up with regrets.”  -Some other smart guy
 
“No matter how many people tell you how smart and good you are, realize that people don’t care how much you know, until they realize how much you care.  You have to establish the latter, first.”  -A couple of smart guys
 
“Life was not meant to be easy.” -A successful, really smart guy.
 
"What is common to every situation you face in life?  Life is like jumping out of an airplane for a combat jump.  You never land where you thought/hoped you would.  You can spend a lot of time and anger at the Jumpmaster, the aircrew, the wind, the parachute, the fellow jumper who almost ran into you, etc. but it changes nothing.  You still landed where you landed, and nothing is gonna change that.  So you just start the fight from where you are now, with what you have, and who you are with." -Mike (But I probably heard it from somebody else?)
