Inspirational Quotes
By Sebastian Müller on Feb 08, 2013 with Comments 1
This week, I will present some inspirational quotes again, which will hopefully inspire you, dear reader, to reflect on your life and the relations you have with other people.
Often we live one hectic day after the next and forget to sit down and contemplate about what we are doing. Personally, I find it very useful to have some time for myself every evening and reflect on the day and think about my actions, including my planned future actions.
The three topics covered in this list are leadership, success and overcoming failure.
LEADERSHIP
The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

SUCCESS
Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.
