See what you do as both important and unimportant.]] - [[We are only as good as our time period]]. - [[Impact is defined by what we, as a collective, are able to achieve]]. - Find inspiration in other people's excellence. - "I don't want to be better than them. I want everybody to be great." ### Perspective - If an opportunity arises that may not suit your ego, take a moment to challenge both the opportunity and yourself. - [[Doing what is right and doing what is comfortable are two very different things]]. - The ones you remember are the ones that have blessed you with a pleasant surprise in some form. - [[The ones you remember are those who made you feel like you mattered]]. - [[Success isn't measured by what you achieve; it's measured by the obstacles you overcome.]] - [[Expect nothing, and you will enjoy everything.]]
