What I had been taught all my life was not true: experience is not the best teacher! Some people learn and grow as a result of their experience some people don't. Everybody has some kind of experience. It's what you do with that experience that matters.

People of influence understand the incredible value of becoming a good listener.

If churches would take ownership of a vision, the next pastor who is thinking about coming to that church can see what their vision is and then determine if their vision fits with his or her ministry. If it doesn't, then it would be wrong for that pastor to come to that church.

If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it - young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous - is changed by it.

I think that self-discipline has to be accompanied by passion.
