We’re in a bar or a club and we see someone attractive, who we’d like to get to know a little bit better.

The weapon of choice in such situations is the pick-up or chat-up line as a conversation opener with the intent of engaging that person in the hope that it may lead to a date or even romance.

Sadly there are not many pick-up lines that we can truly look back on with pride though.

17 inspirational quotes about leadership

09/12/2025 by

I love inspirational quotes about leadership because we all have the potential to be leaders.

We demonstrate our leadership skills in given situations, where our unique abilities and skill set make us best suited to lead.

When circumstances dictate, we can all bring our unique talents to a situation to move that situation forward in a positive way.

When our talents collide with favourable circumstances, we can ‘grab the ball and run with it.’ We can seize the day and demonstrate our capabilities to the world. We can put our best foot forward and say, “In this situation, I am the one who is best equipped to lead everyone to a satisfactory outcome. So follow me, everyone.”

You can be a leader, dear reader; everyone can. We don’t always fully appreciate our hidden depths.

In essence, leadership is having the confidence to stand up and be counted.

It’s all about driving you and your team towards a winning outcome.

Here are 17 inspirational quotes about leadership to help you think about what it means and why you have the right qualities to be a leader.

  5. The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. ~Henry Kissinger
  6. Leadership to me means duty, honour, and country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time. ~George W. Bush
  7. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want doing because he wants to do it. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
  8. I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. ~Alexander the Great
  9. A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit. ~Arnold H. Glasow
  10. A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. ~J. P. Morgan

Inspirational quotes about leadership (11-17):

  4. If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever. ~Thomas Aquinas
  5. Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish. ~Sam Walton

  7. Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire teammates and customers. ~Robin S. Sharma

25 quotes to inspire success and encourage progress

09/12/2025 by

Looking for some quotes to inspire success, dear reader? Do you crave success for yourself?

Well, what would real success look like to you?

Success is different for everyone, of course. It’s all a matter of opinion, really. One person’s ceiling is another person’s floor, as they say.

However, regardless of how you define it, success won’t happen unless you make it happen. And to make it happen, you’ll need a little inspiration occasionally.

So today I’ve pulled together 25 quotes to inspire success.

Whatever real success looks like for you, dear reader, let me tell you, it can be achieved. Just believe you can, and you will.

Yes, it requires determination and hard work. Yes, you’ll need the occasional bit of luck along the way. Nevertheless, it can be done, and people do. And so can you!

Make Money

Quotes to Inspire Success (1-15):

  8. Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. ~William Feather

  10. However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. ~Stephen Hawking

  15. The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. ~Mark Caine

  8. Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the success you seek. ~Mario Andretti
  9. Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome. ~Booker T. Washington

33 really unhelpful things to say in a crisis

33 REALLY UNHELPFUL THINGS TO SAY IN A CRISIS

Today, I am exploring unhelpful things to say in a crisis.

In times of crisis, our friends and loved ones need our sympathy and support. They don’t need stupid, inane, or thoughtless comments that don’t help.

Often, we feel we’ve got to say something, and in responding to silence, we often say things that are unhelpful to fill the void. Such comments may seem funny later, but at the time, they don’t help.

So in times of crisis, if you can’t say something supportive, it’s probably better to remain silent and allow your friend, a loved one, or even your boss a little time to think through the problem and focus on a potential solution.

Nevertheless, unhelpful things said in a crisis can be amusing, so here are some things best not said. I hope they amuse you, dear reader.

Make Money

Unhelpful things to say in a crisis:

  1. You must have done something terrible in another life.
  2. I told you so.
  3. It can only get better.
  4. Just calm down; stuff happens.
  5. If only you hadn’t done that.
  6. I’m sensing a bit of tension. Have I done something to upset you?
  7. Your parents won’t be happy, will they?
  8. That shouldn’t happen, should it?
  9. Don’t panic. Don’t panic.
  10. Did you read the instructions?
  11. Well, at least you’ll have a story to tell.
  12. You’ll laugh about this one day.
  13. Jeez, you’ve got a real problem there.
  14. Now, that was a really serious mistake.
  15. I guess it’s not a good time to ask for a pay raise.
  16. Didn’t you say you hadn’t renewed the insurance policy?
  17. Statistically speaking, this doesn’t happen very often.
  18. Don’t you just hate it when that happens?
  19. Does this mean our date’s off tonight?
  20. Oh well, mistakes can be valuable learning experiences.
  21. You can always draw a line under it and move on.
  22. What does Google say?
  23. Was that really expensive?
  24. Some people would love to be where we are right now.
  25. However bad it may be, it could be worse.
  26. When life gives you lemons, you can always make lemonade.
  27. That’s incredible. You wouldn’t have thought that was possible.
  28. I couldn’t cope with what you’re going through right now.
  29. When I think of situations like yours, I count my blessings.
  30. God wouldn’t give you more than you could handle.
  31. Did you know that the probability of that happening was about a trillion to one?
  32. There are people in this world with more problems than you have right now.
  33. When I see a situation like yours, I realize that, but for the grace of God, that could be me.

30 Sage Quotes by Lucius B. Wack to get you thinking

09/11/2025 by

If it’s sage quotes you are looking for, dear reader, I have 30 excellent observations from Lucius B. Wack.

Lucius B. Wack is a modern philosopher whom I greatly admire.

I think he has a lot of interesting things to say.

So, look at these sage quotes and see what you think.

I hope you find these observations about modern life in the Western world interesting.

If you do, then please feel free to pass them on to your friends.

But not before you’ve had a chance to reflect on them all over a cup of coffee, or whatever your preferred morning beverage might be.

Sage Quotes
Make Money

Sage Quotes (1-10):

  1. Demand the best for yourself. If you don’t, no one else will.
  2. You only have to look around you to know that the lunatics are running the asylum.
  3. Jobs that no longer need doing can’t be protected. Doing work for its own sake is pointless.
  4. We live in a world where the lives of the many are being subjected to the tyranny of the few.
  5. Beware the zealots imposing upon us all their worldviews. They’re working in their best interests, not ours. 
  6. No country has ever taxed its way to prosperity. Excessive taxation acts as a disincentive to hard work and enterprise.
  7. Don’t think of it as the end. Think of it as the beginning of a new chapter. A new experience. The next ride on the latest attraction. 
  8. If your answer’s No, then it’s No. No is a complete sentence. There’s no obligation on you to explain why. Just say No and move on.
  9. Predators are predators and will use any means available to gain access to their target victims. To believe otherwise would be naive. 
  10. Beware the conversational bullies. Those people who are determined to dismiss your opinions as being somewhat inferior to their own.

Sage Quotes (11-20):

  1. How you talk to yourself will dictate how you feel about yourself. So, talk positively. Focus on the good things you can offer the world.
  2. The future is an endless stream of opportunities which you can choose to take, or not, and you can make your life whatever you want it to be.
  3. Never assume other people will be working in your interests. They won’t. They’ll be working in their own interests. You should do the same.
  4. If politicians have the courage to tackle the issues that really matter to people, they might be surprised at just how much people start getting behind them.
  5. People have political power if they stick together and act in numbers large enough to frighten politicians. No sane government will ignore real people’s power. 
  6. Never apologise, and never explain because your apology will never be enough. If you’ve fallen foul of the mob, there’s no road to redemption, however contrite you try to be.
  7. The problem today is that sensible people say nothing when they should say something. If tyranny is not challenged, it takes hold and once it’s taken hold, we’re all in trouble. 
  8. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. You’re not living their life and they’re not living yours. You are unique and your value to this world is you being the best version of yourself. 
  9. Over-tax the productive part of the economy and the result will be stagnation. Why bother taking business risks if you’ll be penalised should you succeed? Why would that make sense?
  10. We are governed by a set of clowns. The depressing thing is that there’s another set of clowns waiting in the wings. So, whatever happens, life is unlikely to improve for ordinary working people.

Sage Quotes (21-25):

  1. If you’re a politician and you’re incapable of truly appreciating the plight of the poor and ordinary working people, then don’t try engaging with such people as a PR stunt. You will only ever look clueless.
  2. Before deciding to go to university, ask yourself this. What will you gain by going? How will it better position you to get a job you’d want? The benefits of a university education are becoming marginal at best. 
  3. It may be a concern for you but unless it interrupts money and power then politicians won’t regard it as a problem and they’re unlikely to do anything about it, regardless of any suggestions they may make to the contrary.
  4. A true friend is someone you could call at 3 o’clock in the morning if you were in trouble with the reasonable expectation that they’d be happy to help you. Everyone else is just people you know with varying degrees of familiarity.
  5. The things of the greatest value in life cannot be bought. The love of family and old friends. The arms of your children around your neck. A good laugh with the people who matter most to you. These are things you cannot buy with gold.

Sage Quotes (26-30):

  1. The Media adheres unreservedly to intellectual fashion and groupthink. If you’re looking for a balanced analysis of those things that are having a major impact on our culture, you’re wasting your time looking for it in the mainstream media. 
  2. It seems like we’re seeing the total collapse of authority. A failure resulting from politicians lacking the courage to do what they know is necessary. They fear hostile media coverage more than they fear accountability to the electorate.
  3. Before you attempt to have fun at someone else’s expense, ask yourself this. How would you feel if you were on the receiving end of what you’re about to say or do? It may be a bit of fun for you, but will the other person see it that way? It’s only fun if it’s fun for everyone.
  4. Hiring managers are not there to be a solution to your problems. If you really want the job, you must demonstrate to them that you can be a solution to their problems. They don’t care about your hopes and dreams, they care about getting things done and whether you can help them do so. 
  5. Thieves can now rob you from the comfort of their own homes. Modern telecommunications make it easy for scammers. That together with people’s gullibility and their willingness to assume that any request from someone is genuine. View every request involving money with a sceptical eye.

5 very powerful quotes with observations on their meaning

09/11/2025 by

If you’re looking for some very powerful quotes, dear reader, then there are five great ones here for you today.

And I’ve added my observations on what they all mean.

I hope you find the quotes interesting. Certainly, I did. And I hope my comments also add some value to you today.

Please feel free to pass them on to your friends.

Very Powerful Quotes:

1. Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well. ~Zig Ziglar

Even the greatest exponents of any skill you care to mention started as complete beginners. That’s a fact.

Whether it’s a great football player like Cristiano Ronaldo or a rock guitar god like Jimmy Page, they all had to start somewhere.

In the beginning, they wouldn’t have produced anything special, I am sure, although they may have shown some early talent, I guess.

Anyway, dedication to their craft and a determination to hone their skills are what would have taken them from being ordinary to being quite extraordinary.

To be good, talent helps, of course. However, nothing matches dedication and determination if you are to excel at what you do.

If you want to be the best, you’ve got to get started, and then it’s all about practice, practice, and more practice.

Before you can be the best, you’ve got to pay your dues first.

The very best people will have spent thousands of hours developing their skills long before entering the public’s consciousness.

People who succeed have paid their dues and earned their success. Success comes at a price, and the price has to be paid first.

You don’t get anything for nothing.

What you get out is proportional to what you put in.

That’s the first law of achievement.

2. You’re never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. ~C.S. Lewis

Age is just a number. It doesn’t have to be a constraint on your life.

You’re not on the scrap heap just because you’ve reached 50, 60, 70, or whatever.

You can still learn something new, and there are still places to go and explore.

Perhaps you’re too old to play for Liverpool FC, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get involved in football (or soccer, as many prefer to call it) in some way.

You may never be able to play the guitar like Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn to play a musical instrument.

You may never win an Oscar, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get involved in amateur dramatics.

And you may never outsell J. K. Rowling, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t write a book and get it published, or at least self-published.

With the Internet, eBooks, and social media, the opportunities for making your name have never been greater.

Today, you can write an eBook, self-publish it, and sell it on Amazon. I’m told that’s precisely how E.L. James of 50 Shades of Grey fame started.

If a book seems like a big step, then how about writing a blog?

WordPress is not difficult. I spent $100 on a one-day course to learn WordPress, and I’ve never looked back. And of course, knowing WordPress, you can set up a blog easily and quickly.

One of the advantages of age is that you’ve learned a lot along the way. So you can share your wisdom and experience.

You can make a real contribution if you want to.

So why not give it a go?

It’s never too late to become the person you really could be.

You’ve got a lot to offer. Please don’t keep it all to yourself. That would be such a waste, and there’s still an opportunity to leave a legacy.

3. With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Yesterday’s dead and gone. However good or bad it was, it’s now nothing more than a footnote in history.

So leave the past where it belongs, in the past.

Today is different.

At the beginning of a new day, anything is possible.

Learn from the past, of course, but don’t dwell on your mistakes, your bad luck, or the disappointing outcomes you wish had been different.

You can’t change the past, so focus on what can be achieved today and in the future.

Take strength from the present and think positive thoughts.

A positive mental attitude will carry you further than you think.

Remember: You’ll never have today again, so make sure you enjoy it.

4. Be miserable or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice. ~Wayne Dyer

Now, life may have been mean to you, dear reader, but so what? The reality is that life’s been mean to a lot of people.

However much life’s let you down, you’ll find that no one’s impressed with self-pity. No one wants to go to a pity party.

Self-pity is an unattractive quality, to say the least.

Everyone’s struggling with their own lives, so they don’t need your misery to bring them down even further.

If you want to be appreciated, you must be positive.

It all comes down to the choice you make. It’s better that you add something to other people’s lives rather than take something away.

You can choose to ignore your troubles and be positive, or not.

It’s a fact that your outlook, sunny or otherwise, will have an impact on how other people treat you.

Cheer them up, and they’ll love you.

Make them feel depressed, and they’ll head for the hills the moment they see you.

So what are you going to be? Remember, it’s a choice.

You can be the person who makes people smile when you enter a room.

Alternatively, you can be the person who makes people smile when you leave.

That choice is yours, but I know which one I prefer.

5. The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you and whose presence calls forth your best. ~Epictetus

How often do other people put us down?

They belittle our ambitions and tell us we’re getting above ourselves.

“You’re not good enough for that,” we’ll hear people say.

“You don’t have the brains or the talent” will be another response.

Then you’ll be told, “Oh, people from your background can’t do that; it’s not for you.”

Eventually, if you’re not careful, you start to believe it all.

And then you’re destined for nothing more than a life of mediocrity, just like those people who were putting you down.

And that’s the point.

The real issue is that they resent your ambition because they don’t have any ambition or lack the confidence to try anything new.

They dislike the idea of you going places and getting on in life because they’ve never achieved anything.

Their opinions are presented to you as well-meaning advice, of course. However, they’re jealous.

They deliberately put you down in the hope that you won’t achieve anything more than them.

So, don’t be fooled.

Surround yourself only with people who encourage your ambitions.

People who will offer you guidance to help you get to where you want to go.

Don’t allow negative people to put you off.

If you want to do something, then you have a go at it.

If you stick with it, you can succeed. Other people do, so why not you?

However, even if you don’t, it’s better to try and fail than never to have tried at all. At least you’ll know for sure whether something was right for you or otherwise.

Don’t allow the years to slip by with you wondering what might have been.

The message here is: Believe in yourself and keep company only with positive people. The negative ones will do your head in.
