As I mentioned in hint #18 in the “Win a Zune” contest earlier today, no one in my new company has a title on their business card. Instead each person has a favorite quote and/or tag cloud that represents that person’s unique role and personality.
My tag cloud will probably look something like this:
Designer Developer Architect
IllusionistMentorTrainer
CommunityPeople Builder
FatherHusband
FriendEmcee UX
Organizational Change Leader
Follower
but I’m having a difficult time deciding on a favorite quote. Here are the ones that I’ve narrowed this down to:
“We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.”
Vince Lombardi
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Vince Lombardi
The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
Vince Lombard
It’s easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you’re a winner, when you’re number one. What you’ve got to have is faith and discipline when you’re not yet a winner.
Vince Lombardi
I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious.
Vince Lombardi
Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Accordingly a genius is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework.
Thomas Edison
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thomas Edison
If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.
John Maxwell
A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.
John Maxwell
The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.”
John Maxwell
The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that’s when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
John Maxwell
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
John Maxwell
A big man is one who makes us feel bigger when we are with him.
John Maxwell
I know… I can hear it now, “this is your narrowed down list?” Yes, it is.
This is not a contest, I’m not offering a Zune to Guess My Favorite Quote, but I would really like to know which quote you think best fits me, and would go best on a card that I will be giving out to millions of people… maybe not millions, but you get the idea.
Thanks!
