To use your time wisely, to make your day count, you must focus on what matters to you.

‘If you do not decide how your day will be spent, someone else will.’

‘Your greatest possession is the twenty-four hours you have directly ahead of you. How will you spend it?’

‘If you want to be become a great thinker, you first need to become a good thinker.’

‘To become a good thinker, do more thinking.’

‘Ideas, put into action, give an advantage.’

‘Anything worth having is going to be a struggle. Commitment doesn’t come easy, but when you’re fighting for something you believe in, the struggle is worth it.’

‘Don’t make assumptions, and don’t try to be like someone else.’

‘If you are experiencing difficulties, allow yourself to explore faith in response to it.’

‘Faith gives you peace and strength only if it’s not superficial.’

‘The best way to help people is to see the best in them.’

Advanced leaders don’t do what other leaders are doing. Advanced leaders take actions. And they are willing to do what others are not willing to do. That is why they are more advanced than others.

According to Rosabeth Moss Kanter, ‘Advanced leadership is a mindset that encourages multiple experiments by people who seize responsibilities without waiting in line.’

‘Advanced leaders are the ultimate silo busters.’

‘Advanced leadership involves aspiring to do great but difficult and complex work.’

‘Leaders who create extraordinary new possibilities are passionate about their mission and tencious in pursuit of it.’

‘Innovators leave the street and go inside.’

‘An organization is a tool to be used in the quest for wider improvement.’

‘Complacency reduces the willingness to take risks or to try anything big and bold.’

‘A movement is not a monolith; it consists of many independent actors.’

‘A leadership force guided by democratic principles can work on democracy itself.’

‘Social ties are stronger bases for commitment, because sentiment creates attachment, and peer group pressure can kick in.’
