John C. Maxwell

The best way to help people is to see the best in them.

You can change your tomorrow if you do something today. Few people understand how the way you live today impacts your tomorrow. Today is the only time we have within our grasp, yet many people let it slip through their fingers, recognizing neither its value nor potential. If we want to do something with our lives, then we must make today matter, because that's where tomorrow's success lies.

The best way to serve the individuals on the team is to see that the whole team wins.

We cannot lead anyone farther than we have been ourselves.

Successful people are willing to do things unsuccessful people will not do.

The best leaders are readers of people. They have the intuitive ability to understand others by discerning how they feel and recognizing what they sense.

But the law of magnetism really is true: who you are is who you attract.

Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward.

Thinking is hard; that's why so few do it.

Listen twice as much as you speak.

It's been said that commitment is another name for success.

Like every person, every thought has the potential to become something great.

Every sailor knows that you can't sail a ship that isn't moving forward, strong leaders understand that to change direction, you first have to create forward progress.

Everybody can be somebody when somebody understands and believes in her.

To be an influencer, you have to love people before you can try to lead them.

If you want to help others and become a person of influence, keep smiling, sharing, giving, and turning the other cheek.

Changing your attitude from self-centerdness to understanding requires desire and commitment to always try to see things from the other persons point of view.

You'll never know how close you are to a million-dollar idea unless you're willing to listen.

Praise them for what they do well, both privately and publicly.

Faith in people is an essential quality of an influencer when working with others, yet it is a scarce commodity today.

You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the higher levels of influence, you have to work with individuals.
