Robin S. Sharma

"Cell phones, mobile e-mail, and all the other cool and slick gadgets can cause massive losses in our creative output and overall productivity."

"Goal-getting matters. And writing down the brave acts and bold dreams you intend to accomplish will provide the spark to get them done."

"Hard work opens doors and shows the world that you are serious about being one of those rare - and special - human beings who use the fullness of their talents to do their very best."

"I believe we can accelerate our acumen, performance and success by leveraging our associations and spending time with people better than us."

"Leave your ego at the door every morning, and just do some truly great work. Few things will make you feel better than a job brilliantly done."

"No one wants to fail. So most of us don't even try. Sad. We don't even take that first step to improve our health or to deepen our working relationships or to realize a dream."

"Success is not a function of the size of your title but the richness of your contribution."

"The best in business have boundless curiosity and open minds."

"Whether you lead a nation, an enterprise, a community, or a family, we are all in the communication business."
