“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
"We must be the change we wish to see in the world. (Gandhi)

"The seeds of the future lie in the present"
"Managers manage change but leaders manage growth"
"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."

Some I have picked up from my various managers over the years...
"Change always becomes the norm"
"Perception is reality"
"If you can't measure it you can't manage it"
"We are where we are" (after the latest mishap to befall us)
I am sure I have read this quote somewhere but cannot recall where ...
"In a world filled with uncertainty, anything is possible."
Anyone know before I claim it for myself .. :-)
