Friends can speed up your steps or slow down your pace. Leaders choose friends wisely, they are aware of the consequences.
~ Israelmore Ayivor
Leaders do not play a what if game. They believe it will be and work it to be! Success is scarce because fear is common.
Leaders' major question is why. If they lose, they ask why. If they win, they ask why. Their whys weave their wonders.
People are tired of being told that it's possible... It's time to show them how it can be possible. Leadership is demonstration.
Leaders are interested in gains. However, they acknowledge that there is no gain without pain. They embrace the pain.
The ladder of leadership can only stand firm on the grounds of integrity. Any other ground makes it unstable till it falls.
Leaders don't venture without vision. They don't pray without plans. They don't climb without clues. They are always prepared.
Leaders don't climb hills of success with shoes of pride. They are slippery enough to bring a person down to the valley.
Bridges take people across rivers. Leaders take people across ignorance. With a leader, the destination of a journey is sure.
Leaders will love to be poor and see their people rich, than to be rich and see their people poor. This is their mission.
Fear punches holes in your eyes so that you don't see the future clearly. Faith enlarges your vision to behold your destiny.
By constant practices, deliberate repetitions and uninterrupted exercises, leaders go from zero to hero. They don't quit.
If you're determined to stand, nothing can move you. If you're determined to move, nothing can stop you. Determination is the key!
You don't necessarily need atomic bombs to destroy a nation. Politicians who value their pockets than the life of citizens always do that every day.
Leaders do what is uncomfortable but helpful. They run away from the comfort that doesn't produce any help for the world.
Learning from failure boosts a leader's chance of staying ahead of his standards. Leaders who rise quickly after falling are always stable.
A leader does not reduce his speeds to meet the views of negative thinkers. He leaves them to do their job as he focuses.
People either build a castle or a dungeon. The former by their virtues, pull people into positive edifices with gainful impression. The later by their vices, push people into negative huts with painful oppression.
Leaders scan the future so it can be free of doubts and fear. They do so by not living a double standard life in the present.
Pride, anger and hatred are fruits from the same garden that poison the world when ripe. A leader cultivates no such fruits.
Leaders build the future with clays of the past. Every good moment gives them ideas, every bad moment gives them lessons.
Courage promotes leaders, fear demotes them. Most people who have difficulties climbing up success ladders are fans of fear.
Every great leader once fell down from a tall ladder. You don't become a star until you get the scar. Take that risk now.
Words do less than 10 things, but actions do more than 10 thousand things. Leaders don’t talk in vain; they follow with actions.
Greed squeezes your dreams into a portable size, so that failure can easily carry them to dump somewhere.
Many self-leaders lead the world even by being invisible. The world learns from them without sitting in their classrooms.
Leaders find something to die for, not something to live on. If you haven't found something to die for yet, you can't lead.
Environment has its own ways of limiting us tightly. But leaders have their own ways of escaping those limitations narrowly.
Leaders don't pray to God for money. They simply ask for His grace to solve problems. By solving problems, the money comes.
Your relationships will either empower you to overcome obstacles, or put fears in you so you can run away from them.
The desire to swim in deeper waters is what gives a greater experience. Nothing new comes out of being ordinary. Leaders take risks.
What happens when a leader misses his steps on the ladder is what happens when a train misses the rail. Be on track.
Until you do your best, don't try to take a rest. Until you take a leap, don't try to sleep. Until you top, don't try to stop.
Leaders are solutions conscious. They don’t complain. You would find them repeating this common question; “how will it be done, and by who?
Leaders inform, inspire and improve people. They educate, empower and enrich the value of their followers. They make impacts.
Leaders do not chase comfort, they pursue vision even if it comes with risks. Don’t give up too early because you see not early rewards.
A leader in 10 minutes can unlock your potentials which in reality would have taken you 10 years to do without them.
Leaders don't cry for what country can do for them for free. They dream about what they can do for country at high cost.
Why ships won't use roads, is why cars won't travel on oceans. When the position is wrong, the leader won't be right.
Leaders gather scattered people with the positive influence of intimacy while misleaders scatter gathered people with the negative influence of intimidation.
