Management Principles – 2

151. Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point (Harold B. Melchart). I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing (Agatha Christie).

152.  Mountaintops inspire leaders but valleys mature them (Winston Churchill).

153.  The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well (Baron de Coubertin, The Olympic Creed).

156.  The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials (Chinese proverb).

157.  A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love (St. Basil).

159.  Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death (Einstein). I think, therefore I am.

161.  Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress (Nicholas Murray Butler).

162.  The greatest gift you will ever receive is the gift of loving and believing in yourself. Guard this gift with your life. It is the only thing that will ever truly be yours (Tiffany Loren Rowe).

163.  Do what you love to do, and do it so well that those who come to see you do it will bring others to watch you do it again and again (Mark Victor Hansen).

164.  I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to live the width of it as well (Diane Ackerman).

167.  I have never been a millionaire, but I have enjoyed a great meal, a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend, a hug from a child, a cup of soup, a kiss behind the ear. There are plenty of life's tiny delights for all of us (Jack Anthony).

168.  You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself (Marcus T. Cicero).

169.  Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value (Albert Einstein). It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are (Roy Disney).

170.  Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself (Samuel Butler, 1835-1902)

171.  Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight (Helen Keller, 1880-1968)

172.  Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Louis Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein (H. Jackson Brown Jr.)

173.  Your imagination is the preview to life's coming attractions (Albert Einstein).

174.  Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out (Robert Collier).

175.  Target your goals with care. They set the upper limits for what you expect to get out of your life. Goals are the mile markers by which reality finds its way to your dreams. Your vision is as real as you make it -- no more, no less. Honor your vision by specifying the details and objectives required to make it happen.

176.  The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals, the tragedy lies in not having any goals to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream (Dr. Benjamin Mays).

177.  Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less scoundrel in the world (Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881).

178.  If you view all the things that happen to you, both good and bad, as opportunities, then you operate out of a higher level of consciousness (Les Brown).

179.  Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object on a level with yourself (F. Hawes).

180.  Jika Anda tidak bisa menikmati apa yang telah Anda miliki kini, mustahil Anda bisa lebih berbahagia kalau Anda memiliki lebih dari sekarang (Anonim).

181.  You are not happy because you are well. You are well because you are happy. You are not depressed because trouble has come to you, but trouble has come to you because you are depressed. You can change your thoughts and feelings, and then the outer things will come to correspond, and indeed there is no other way of working (Emmet Fox).

182.  When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous (Wayne Dyer).

183.  Opportunities? They are all around us. There is power lying latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it (Orison Swett Marden).

184.  Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it's not going to go away (Elvis Presley)

192.  In work, the greatest satisfaction lies - the satisfaction of stretching yourself, using your abilities and making them expand, and knowing that you have accomplished something that could have been done only by your unique apparatus. This is really the center of life, and those who never orient themselves in this direction are missing more than they ever know (Kenneth Alsop, 1920-1973)

193.  Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force (Tom Blandi).

194.  Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face (Anonymous).

195.  Compromise:  The art of dividing a cake in such a way that everybody
believes he got the biggest piece (Sherry Rothfield).

196.  For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.  For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.  For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.  For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.    For poise, walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone (Audrey Hepburn, British Actress)

199.  Those who turn good (organizations) into great (organizations) are motivated by a deep creative urge and an inner compulsion for sheer unadulterated excellence for its own sake (Jim Collins, author of "Good to Great").

200.  There is a sense of exhilaration that comes from facing head-on the hard truths and saying, "We will never give up. We will never capitulate. It might take a long time, but we will find a way to prevail (Jim Collins, from his book, Good to Great).

201.  Unswerving loyalty to duty, constant devotion to truth, and a clear conscience will overcome every discouragement and surely lead the way to usefulness and high achievement (Grover Cleveland).

202.  Virtue means doing the right thing, in relation to the right person, at the right time, to the right extent, in the right manner, and for the right purpose.  Thus, to give money away is quite a simple task, but for the act to be virtuous, the donor must give to the right person, for the right purpose, in the right amount, in the right manner, and at the right time (Aristotle).

203.  In order to win, you must expect to win (Richard Bach). Expect victory and you make victory (Preston Bradley). Nobody succeeds beyond his or her wildest expectations unless he or she begins with some wild expectations (Ralph Charell). Life is largely a matter of expectation (Horace). You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win (Zig Ziglar).

204.  You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them (Michael Jordan). A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations (Patricia Neal). Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so (Doris Lessing). Your expectation opens or closes the doors of your supply. If you expect grand things, and work honestly for them, they will come to you. Your supply will correspond with your expectation (Orison Swett Marden).

205.  The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity (Mahatma Gandhi).

207.  You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however (Richard Bach).

208.  Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself (Abraham Joshua Heschel).

209.  Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make very small use of their possible consciousness and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger (William James).

210.  Confidence on the outside begins by living with integrity on the inside (Brian Tracy). When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be (Lao Tzu).

211.  Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself (Harvey Fierstein).

212.  If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking (Buddhist Proverb). If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed (David Viscott). If you're never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take any chances (Julia Sorel).

213.  Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success (Samuel Smiles).

214.  Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow (Swedish proverb).

215.  What is now proved was once only imagined (William Blake, English Poet).

216.  What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live -- with your self-respect alive and growing (Maxwell Maltz).

217.  The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary (Thomas A. Edison). If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory (Bruce Jenner). Energy and power come from accomplishment.

218.  Maturity is achieved when a person postpones immediate pleasures for long-term values (Joshua L. Liebman).

219.  I praise loudly; I blame softly (Catherine the Second, Russian Empress). Power is the ability to do good things for others (Brooke Astor).

220.  Never tell people how to do things.  Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity (General George S. Patton).

221.  Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity (Alberta Flanders).

222.  Try not to become a man/woman of success but rather try to become a man of value (Albert Einstein).

223.  It is good to dream, but it is better to dream and work.  Faith is mighty, but action with faith is mightier (Thomas Robert Gaines).

224.  When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life (Greg Anderson).

225.  Have the courage and the wisdom and the vision to raise a definite standard that will appeal to the best that is in man, and then strive mightily toward that goal (Harold E. Stassen).

226.  Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creation – these are the great values of life. We can’t prove them, or explain them, yet they are the most stable things in our lives (Jesse Herman Holmes).

227.  Goodness is a special kind of truth and beauty. It is truth and beauty in human behavior (HA. Overstreet).
