When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future.
A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
It’s not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way.
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
http://bible.us/Prov11.24.NIV
People are more receptive, understanding, and willing to contribute and improve in an environment with a leader who isn’t scary or needlessly ruthless.
“Kindness is another very important element of leadership — you have to convey humanity and humility. “
Don’t let the noise of other people’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.
