John Wooden
“A strong leader accepts blame and gives the credit. A weak leader gives blame and accepts the credit.”
John Wooden, Wooden on Leadership: How to Create a Winning Organization

Angela Duckworth
“...interests are not discovered through introspection. Instead, interests are triggered by interactions with the outside world. The process of interest discovery can be messy, serendipitous, and inefficient. This is because you can't really predict with certainty what will capture your attention and what won't...Without experimenting, you can't figure out which interests will stick, and which won't.”
Angela Duckworth, Grit: Passion, Perseverance, and the Science of Success

John Wooden
“Work without joy is drudgery. Drudgery does not produce champions, nor does it produce great organizations.”
John Wooden, Wooden on Leadership: How to Create a Winning Organization

Angela Duckworth
“...there are no shortcuts to excellence. Developing real expertise, figuring out really hard problems, it all takes time―longer than most people imagine....you've got to apply those skills and produce goods or services that are valuable to people....Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you're willing to stay loyal to it...it's doing what you love, but not just falling in love―staying in love.”
Angela Duckworth, Grit: Passion, Perseverance, and the Science of Success

Angela Duckworth
“Three bricklayers are asked: “What are you doing?” The first says, “I am laying bricks.” The second says, “I am building a church.” And the third says, “I am building the house of God.” The first bricklayer has a job. The second has a career. The third has a calling.”
Angela Duckworth, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
