Quotes that have had an impact on me…..

“Learn how to be social,

not do social.”

- Jay Baer

“If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.”

- Unknown

"People may not remember exactly what

you did, or what you said, but they will always

remember how you made them feel."

- Dr. Garthwaite

“Follow me…..I am right behind

you.”

- John Maxwell

“Great spirits have always found

violent opposition from mediocre

minds”

- Albert Einstein

“The greatest danger is not that our hopes are set too high and

we fail to achieve them; it’s that they are too low and we

do.”

- Michelangelo

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”

- Sir Winston Churchill

“15% of one’s financial success is due to one’s

technical knowledge and 85% is due to skill in human engineering –

leadership and influencing people.”

- Dale Carnegie

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the

round pegs in the square holes…the ones who see things differently– they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them,

disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is

ignore them because they change things…they push the human race

forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius,

because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are

the ones who do.

- Steve Jobs
