This week’s motivational leadership quote is:

The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon but only to hold a man’s foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher – Thomas Huxley

On your ascension to success, do not stop while still on the ladder. In other words, do not stop while on the journey. Only rest once you have arrived at your destination. Even if that destination is a way point on your journey to your ultimate success.

This week’s motivational leadership quote is:

If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect wood, and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea – Antoine de Saint Exupery

Our days begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter – Martin Luther King, Jr.
