“Pero usted impacta aun en sus interacciones diarias con las personas. Puede hacer que los pocos momentos en los que interactúa con un dependiente de una tienda o un cajero en un banco sean una experiencia miserable, o puede hacer que sonrían y alegrar su día. La elección es suya.”
“Una de las experiencias más difíciles para cualquier miembro de un equipo es sacar del equipo a otro miembro. Y sin embargo es lo que hay que hacer si alguien rehusa desarrollarse o cambiar para beneficio del grupo. Eso no quiere decir que usted quiera menos a esa persona. Sólo significa que usted no seguirá perdiendo su tiempo invirtiendo en alguien que no puede o no quiere hacer que el equipo sea mejor.”
“Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.”
“Con mucha frecuencia, lo que la gente dice que es su problema, en realidad no lo es. Su verdadero problema es la actitud que les hace manejar los obstáculos de la vida tan mal.”
“Dios crea a todos los seres humanos con dones naturales, pero también los fabrica con dos extremos: uno para sentarse y otro para pensar. El éxito en la vida depende de cuál de ellos usamos más, y es como echar suertes con una moneda: ¡La cabeza gana! ¡La cola pierde!”
“Johann Wolfgang von Goethe emphasized, “Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.”
