Food for Thought

It is impossible to rise Higher as a Leader than we rise as an Individual.

Reputation is what men and women think of us
Character is what God Knows of Us.

Nothing sets one out of the devil's reach so much as Humility.

Always hold your head up but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.

If you are right, take the humble side and you will help the other fellow.
If you are wrong, take the humble side and you will help yourself.

The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story but writes another. His humblest hour comes when he compares the volume as it is written with what he vowed to write.

Aristotle wrote:
Anybody can become angry that is easy;
but to be angry with the right person
and to the right degree
and at the right time
and for the right purpose
and in the right way
that is not within everybody's power
and is not easy.


A good leader inspires others with confidence in him.
A great leader inspires them with confidence in themselves;
Nothing will be right to the man whose heart is wrong.
Ability will enable a man to get to the top
but character is the only thing that will keep him there.
There is a must for one who desires leadership.
Learn to obey before you command.


You can be called into a position of leadership and turn around
waving your hands up in the air beckoning the flock to follow you.
And turn around only to realize not one soul is in line.
To be an effective leader one must have the attention,respect and devotion
of the flock and this comes when a leader realizes he is there
To serve NOT to be served.
