7 inspirational quotes about leadership

04/24/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

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

Leadership is shown in given situations.

When circumstances dictate we can all bring our unique talents to a situation in order 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 have the ability to be a leader dear reader; everyone does. We just 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 seven inspirational quotes about leadership to help you think about what it means and why you have the right qualities to be a leader.

Inspirational quotes about leadership:

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. ~Colin Powell
Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses. ~Mitt Romney
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 team-mates and customers. ~Robin S. Sharma
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
Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. ~Warren Bennis
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus. ~Martin Luther King, Jr
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

7 inspirational quotes about love

04/22/2019 by Roy Sutton

We all need love and we need to feel love, wouldn’t you agree dear reader?

Human beings are emotional and social creatures and we all need other people.

We need a sense that we matter to other people. And of course, other people matter to us too. Our family, friends and loved ones.

We feel love for those who matter to us and our greatest love is for that person who matters most.

Our greatest love is felt for that person in whose company we always feel a sense of contentment.

If you’ve found that special person then get down on your knees and thank God for the privilege because you’re lucky indeed. Not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 7 inspirational quotes about love to help you reflect on this complex emotion.

However remember this; love alone won’t sustain a relationship.

That requires hard work and a lot of compromise.

Nevertheless without love, a relationship has no chance at all.

If you truly love someone, you’ll want what’s best for them and you’ll be prepared to set aside your own needs occasionally to ensure that their needs are being satisfied too.

In a successful relationship all parties must feel their needs are respected and being met, at least most of the time.

Love means you can’t have your own way all of the time.

Inspirational quotes about love:

Where there is love there is life. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There’s only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. ~George Sand
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love. ~Max Muller
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. ~H Jackson Brown, Jr
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. ~Oscar Wilde
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audrey Hepburn
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. ~Ann Landers

7 inspirational quotes about change

04/20/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

Before I offer you some inspirational quotes about change, let’s consider why it really matters dear reader.

One of the most fundamental human needs is the need for certainty. We need certainty because we need to feel secure.

As a species, human beings are programmed to ensure we survive. If we don’t feel secure then we are constantly on our guard, which drains our energy.

That’s why change can be an uncomfortable experience because it makes us feel insecure and feeling insecure means we can’t relax.

Most of us can feel uncomfortable with change, at least to some degree, and that’s perfectly natural when you think about it.

However change is important.

Through change comes opportunity and if we can embrace change then opportunity can be ours for the taking.

Most people tend to be slow in their response to change because it’s such an uncomfortable experience. However if we respond quickly we can grasp those opportunities just waiting for the fleet footed.

Think about this; everything we take for granted today once didn’t exist.

An example of this would be computers. Today most households have several of them in the form of Desktops, Laptops and Tablets, as well as Smartphones.

Certainly this is the situation in my home and I’m sure that’s true in your home too dear reader.

However as recently as 1943 Thomas Watson, then Chairman of IBM said, “I think there’s a world market for maybe five computers.”

Well there are more than five computers in my home alone and there will be billions more around the world.

As recently as 1977 Ken Olson then President, Chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), the leading supplier of mini-computers at the time, said, “There’s no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.”

We’re lucky that neither Bill Gates nor Steve Jobs listened to those gentlemen.

However in business terms these examples are even more significant.

Failure to recognize the changing nature of the computer market had almost catastrophic consequences for IBM as a business.

They did manage to adapt eventually but not before their business went through a major wobble and at one point looked like it might fold completely.

And where is Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) now? It disappeared long ago and is now nothing more than a footnote in the history of digital technology.

So my message to you today dear reader is this; you ignore change at your peril.

It’s better to embrace it, however uncomfortable it may feel, and be ready to grab those opportunities as they come along.

The most successful people in business are adept at exploiting opportunities brought about by change.

Change is synonymous with opportunity. It is that simple.

Here are 7 inspirational quotes about change to help you reflect on what it means and why it’s important.

Quotes about change:

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. ~Stephen Hawking
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. ~John F. Kennedy
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. ~Winston Churchill
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. ~Alan Watts
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance. ~Nathaniel Branden
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. ~Lao Tzu
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account, not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. ~Isaac Asimov

7 inspirational quotes about education

04/19/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

Never underestimate the power of learning dear reader.

Education is an investment in you.

Learning gives us knowledge and skills.

Knowledge and skills provide us with the basis for making a living.

If you’re highly skilled, with skills which are in short supply, then you have the basis for making a very good living. And a good living is the aim for all of us, surely?

However education and learning is a life-long process.

You must always keep your knowledge and skills current. Times change and you must change with them.

Your education will always be a work in progress.

For as long as you have the strength to pick up a book, you must proactively expand your knowledge. Do that and I promise you, you won’t regret it.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about education to reinforce today’s message.

Inspirational quotes about education:

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. ~Benjamin Franklin
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. ~Malcolm X
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. ~Nelson Mandela
Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth. ~Chanakya
Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. ~Anthony J. D’Angelo
You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward. ~Conrad Hall
An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t. ~Anatole France

7 inspirational quotes about attitude

04/18/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

Your attitude matters dear reader and it matters a lot.

It’s your attitude more than any other personal quality that will dictate how far you go in life. A bad attitude will get you nowhere; but a good attitude will take you are far as you want to go.

As a hiring manager the right attitude is the quality I value above all others.

Someone of average ability with a positive, ‘can do’ attitude is far more useful to me than a cynical, clever dick with a negative, ‘it can’t be done’ attitude.

For me your attitude is more important than your past, your education, your appearance or your skill-set.

All of those things are important of course. However I can work around them if I have to, as long as you have the right attitude.

A bad attitude will do you no favours at all. You might think you’re being clever but no one else will be impressed, trust me.

The good news is that you can change your attitude any time you choose. Change your attitude and you’ll change your future. Don’t believe me? Then try it and see for yourself.

Attitude is everything; it’s that simple.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about attitude that will help you reflect on the importance of this personal quality dear reader.

Inspirational quotes about attitude:

The only disability in life is a bad attitude. ~Scott Hamilton
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. ~Winston Churchill
People may hear your words but they feel your attitude. ~John C. Maxwell
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. ~Albert Einstein
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. ~W. Clement Stone
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. ~Thomas Jefferson
My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’ ~Richard Branson

7 inspirational quotes about life

04/17/2019 by Roy Sutton

Whether we like or not, life happens to us all.

However you shouldn’t just let it happen. Ideally you should be in control. You only get one life, so you have to make sure it’s the life you want.

I firmly believe that life’s what you make it.

There will be times when you cannot be in control, for whatever reason, but being in control should always be your aim.

Not only should you be in control, you should be doing those things at which you excel and that you enjoy doing too.

Do the things you’re good at and you’ll have a real chance of success, particularly if you’re determined and you work hard.

The most important thing to remember is that you’ll have just this one life, so you have to live your own life in your own way. Only you can know what’s right for you. You’re the captain of your own ship and you decide where it goes.

Listen not to those who seek to constrain your ambitions, with reasons why you shouldn’t try. Instead you must listen to your inner self when your instinct says, “I can do this!”

It matters not whether others think you can, as long as you believe you can.

Life’s not a dress rehearsal. It’s the only life you’re going to experience. So make sure you enjoy the experience.

Yes there’ll be tough times but make sure there are good times too. You won’t live forever but you can make sure you live right now.

Here are 7 inspirational quotes about life which should get you thinking a little.

Inspirational quotes about life:

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. ~Omar Khayyam
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. ~Lao Tzu
Open your eyes and look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living? ~Bob Marley
The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed. ~Eminem
If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit. ~Bill Clinton
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. ~Joseph Campbell
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy. ~Helen Hayes

7 inspirational quotes about happiness

04/15/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

If I were to conduct a survey of readers on the question of happiness, I’m fairly sure that most people would say that whilst they want to be happy, they have yet to achieve that state of mind consistently.

Why is that do you think?

I think it’s because we’re always chasing what we haven’t got.

Being happy requires us to be content with what we’ve got. If we’re always chasing more then by definition we can’t be content with what we’ve got, can we?

So if you want to be happy, then I think the trick is to learn to enjoy whatever it is that you’ve actually got, rather than fretting about those things that you’d like to possess but don’t right now.

Take pleasure in the moment, whenever you can, and always look for the positives in any situation.

Happiness is a state of mind. You can choose to be happy or not. It’s all down to the way you choose to look at the world. You can allow things to bother you or you can say, “I’m not going to worry about stuff I can’t change, I’ll just focus on enjoying my life for what it is and make the best of it.”

Here are 7 inspirational quotes about happiness to help you think about what it all means.

Quotes about happiness:

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. ~Martha Washington
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. ~Agnes Repplier
Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions. ~Dalai Lama
Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to hunt for happiness. ~William E. Gladstone
Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. ~Denis Waitley
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. ~Epictetus
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present. ~Jim Rohn

7 inspirational quotes about success

04/14/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for inspirational quotes about success then first think about what success really means to you. Your definition of success will not necessarily be the same as someone else’s.

Success to you might be nothing more than being happy and content. That’s admirable and there’s nothing wrong with that as a goal. However someone else might be looking for more.

For them success might be an Olympic gold medal or winning the Super Bowl.

Before you pursue success you would do well to reflect on what it means to you and why you want it. Knowing your why is half the battle when it comes to achieving success.

Success is something that is desired by many people but which only the few truly achieve.

To be successful, you have to want it so bad that it hurts. That’s why it’s important to know your why. If you know your ‘why?’ you will be able to bear any ‘how’.

You must be focused on your goals; you must be disciplined; you must be determined; you must be prepared to make sacrifices; you must be prepared to work very, very hard; and you must possess self-belief too.

Remember; nothing worth having ever comes easy.

If you want success then you must be prepared to pay the price in blood, sweat and tears. And the price must be paid first.

You’ll get nothing before you’ve paid the price. You’ll find that even people who are an ‘overnight success’ have spent years honing their skills before favourable circumstances provided them with an opportunity to shine like a star.

Nothing happens overnight. You’ve got to work at and keep working at it.

And remember this too; you will experience failure from time to time and you will question whether you’re good enough over and over again.

The temptation to quit will be overwhelming at times. You’ll be constantly tempted to settle for an easier life. Don’t!

Success can be achieved if you stick at it and just keep going. Focus on the prize.

In the words of the late, great Muhammad Ali, I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’

Success can be yours if you work hard and hang on in there until you achieve what it is that you want to achieve. So go for it!

And remember also; it’s better to try and fail than never having tried at all. At least you won’t spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been.

Inspirational quotes about success:

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. ~Norman Vincent Peale
Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not? ~LeBron James
Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfilment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them. ~Jack Canfield
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. ~Vince Lombardi
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure. ~Erin Cummings
Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of persons working together. ~Paul Ryan
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success. ~Thomas J. Watson

15 Funny Quotes on Friendship

04/08/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

If you’re lucky enough to have one good friend then you are richer than you imagine and if you have two then you’re truly blessed.

Friendship is a relationship of equals.

Real friends are people with whom you have a lot in common, especially when it comes to things that make you laugh and those times when you enjoy getting silly.

True friends are people who know all your faults but accept you as you are anyway.

Not everyone with whom you have a friendly relationship is a true friend. Some people are just very good acquaintances.

A real friend is someone you could phone at 3am, when you’re in trouble and know they’d be out to help you in a heartbeat.

Such people are worth their weight in gold and you should never take them for granted. They’re special and you should appreciate them being in your life because not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 15 funny quotes on friendship that for me touch on the very essence of what it all means.

Funny quotes on friendship:

Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life!
Friends buy you food. Best friends eat your food.
Friends come and go, but enemies remain and build up.
When our phones fall, we panic. When our friends fall, we laugh.
If you have crazy friends you have everything you’ll ever need.
Never let your best friends get lonely. Keep disturbing them.
You have a problem when your imaginary friend thinks he has a problem.
There’s nothing better than a good friend, except for a good friend with chocolate.
Friends come and go, like waves on the ocean, but the true friends stay like an octopus on your face.
A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find, but you’re lucky if you have one.
Laughing is one of the best exercises. It’s like running inside your mind. You can do it almost anywhere and it’s even better with a friend.
I’d walk through fire for my best friend. Well, not fire because that’s dangerous, but a super humid room. Well not too humid, because you know, my hair.
I love making friends. I usually prefer to make them out of plaster and give them funny looking hats.
Dear Diamond, we all know who is really a girl’s best friend. Sincerely yours, Chocolate Cake.

15 Quotes by Steve Jobs

02/27/2019 by Roy Sutton Leave a Comment

Steve Jobs was an American entrepreneur and best known as the driving force behind the success of Apple Inc. Together with Steve Wozniak, he was a pioneer of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.

Famously he dropped out of college and proved, if proof were needed, that you don’t necessarily need qualifications or a college Degree to make an impact and leave a genuine legacy to the world.

What you need is passion and a desire to do something well and to do it better than everyone else. And Steve Jobs had that in spades.

Sadly Steve Jobs died, far too early, at age 56 on October 5, 2011. His death being due to respiratory arrest related to the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour for which he was being treated at the time.

However his influence on business and technology was enormous and his ideas resonate with people to this day.

In my opinion, he was one of life’s great thinkers and I think his views on life and work are worth reflecting on.

So here are 15 quotes by Steve Jobs which I think are worth a few minutes of your time.

Read them; reflect on them. And then consider your life and where you’re going. Are you living your life with passion or are you just going through the motions?

As Steve Jobs implied, our time is precious. We must live our own lives our own way. And we cannot be defined by how other people think we should be. We must be ourselves.

Quotes by Steve Jobs:

Stay hungry, stay foolish. ~Steve Jobs
I want to put a ding in the universe. ~Steve Jobs
We’re just enthusiastic about what we do. ~Steve Jobs
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. ~Steve Jobs
My favourite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time. ~Steve Jobs
We hire people who want to make the best things in the world. ~Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me. ~Steve Jobs
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. ~Steve Jobs
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. ~Steve Jobs
That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains. ~Steve Jobs
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. ~Steve Jobs
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. ~Steve Jobs
I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. ~Steve Jobs
I think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don’t have a short-term payback. ~Steve Jobs
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids. ~Steve Jobs
