43- The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but has no vision - Helen keller
This is my favorite statement made by Helen kellr, a woman who was blind and deaf all the her life. She said this in response to the question; " What could be worse than being born without any sight? Vision is non-negotiable for anyone who wants to succeed. It is the blueprint on the inside of a leader, before he ever sees the plan on the outside.
44- Outstanding leaders appeal to the heart of their followers, not heir minds - John C. Maxwell
If you reflect on the most well-remembered political leaders in American history, you'll find men who were able to grip the hearts of tfhe people: Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Reagan. It's no about partisanship. It's about the ability to cast a vision, the empatghize, to spark hope, to speak to he heart. It's not that these leaders didn't use logic, they just traveled beyond logic, to win the hearts of their audience.
45 - Learn to say "no to good " so you can say " yes to the best " - John C. Maxwell.
This is the battleground where I fight most often. I can easily distinguish between good and bad. Yet with my disposition,which wants to do everything, accomplish everything, and say yes to everything, I need accountability to choose between good and best, I have a " hatchet committee " that helps me say no to the good things along the way.
