Chapter 5. Leading from Any Chair: We're all leaders. How can we make a difference in the people will influence each day? How do we listen to those who help us make our dreams become reality?
Many of us are natural born leaders and many of us do not realize how much of a leadership role we actually have on others. I never thought I was a leader; I was just a teacher but as more students I taught each year and the feedback I continued to get from students. I realized I was a leader and had led my students to believe in themselves and accomplish more than I could imagine.
Keeping an open ear is always a good way to listen to those who help us make our dreams become reality.
Chapter 6. Rule Number 6: Don't take yourself so seriously. Life is a journey--enjoy and learn along the way. Live, laugh, and love!!
I love this quote. We often to take life for granted and don’t enjoy what life has to offer us each and everyday. Yes each day may not go as we want them but we should cherish and enjoy each and everyday we wake and take a breath, because each day is not promised to us. Live it, Love it, Enjoy it.
Chapter 7. The Way Things Are: Sometimes settling for the way things are is a lowering of expectations, sometimes it’s finding a starting point so that one can make things better. Where are you in this continuum?
I refuse to lower my standards and my expectations. If you lower your expectations what are you proving? That you will give into anything, if that was the case African Americans never would have had equal rights and the same thing goes for women.
Chapter 8. Giving Way to Passion: Control says that the only way to avoid disappointment and frustration is to not care at all. No hits, no runs, but most importantly, no errors. What are you doing in your daily life that expresses your passion or the things you are passionate about?
If you are passionate about something you are going to show it. You will stumble it happens to all the greats. You pick yourself up dust yourself off and continue on for greatness.
