Being two faced is worse than being rude. 

Being two faced is worse than being a jerk. 

Being two faced hurts others in multiple ways, continuously, while protecting yourself. 

Being a rude jerk only hurts once. 

When we understand ourselves, we begin to understand others as well. 

If we spend enough time, we will figure out the best way to help. 

Doing something we know will work, often stops us from doing anything. 

Society has rules.

There are practices and norms in every culture and community. 

You don’t need to believe in them, or even follow them.

But the consequences don’t care about you or your beliefs. 

They come no matter what, based on how you act. 

Hope needs Strategy.

Strategy needs Hope.

Hope is a great motivator, but Hope is not Strategy.

Hope ignites the action, but the knowing of what to do and when to do it is the Strategy.

Hope without Strategy is lost. 

Strategy without Hope is fruitless. 

Combined Hope & Strategy create correct action and drive real results. 

Besides creating a better and more compelling vision of the future, the best leaders know how to encourage, they know how to hold others accountable, they know how to motivate, they know how to teach, they know how to decide, and they know how to support. 

Be careful, some people want what is best for themselves, but disguise it as what is best for you. 

Winning is doing your job. 

Winning is taking care of those under your care. 

Winning is fulfilling your obligations. 

Winning is making and keeping commitments. 

The choices we make today determine who we become tomorrow.
