5. 5 The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer. ~Henry David Thoreau 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 In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility. ~Eleanor Roosevelt When you’re in your nineties and looking back, it’s not going to be how much money you made or how many awards you’ve won. It’s really what did you stand for. Did you make a positive difference for people? ~ Elizabeth Dole
