Bring in new folks all the time, and watch the movement start in your group.
As long as you never stop, defeat and failure can never catch up with you!
Management Mistake Some managers forget their responsibilities to their people when they begin to succeed. Leadership Solution Leaders never forget the power of “giving” in their personal and business lives.
Push-Up Principle Don’t catch the disease of “self-ness.”
Famous psychiatrist Alfred Adier said, “It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow man who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is from such individuals that all human failure springs.”
It’s not that the person lacks the ability to succeed in business and in life; more often he lacks the confidence and belief in himself. As a result, he sees the success of other people as a threat to his own, and loses the desire to share his own success and his ability to enjoy the success of others.
I believe that the self-centered person will eventually reach a point in his life where it is impossible for him to grow and be happy.
Push-Up Principle Follow the “Giving Principle of Life.”
In business, I think giving those kinds of things only delay people’s problems.
the more you give, the more you receive.
One of the main principles in the free enterprise system is that the rewards of success go to those who provide a better product or offer a better service to people.
Push-Up Principle Give without expecting a return.
Do that by giving to them first.
If you recognize that your joy and fulfillment is in the giving, you won’t be frustrated or disillusioned if that person doesn’t respond.
Never stop giving, but when people disappoint you or turn against you, realize that you gave it your best shot and go on to help the other people who need help.

You need not fail in your personal or business life, especially in your leadership of people, if you are truly interested in your fellow man. Express that interest by trying every day to push up people.
Nothing can stop you now! Nothing, that is, except you.
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts.
God doesn’t make losers. Losing is something you learn to do all by yourself.
winning involves a personal decision. If you don’t make that personal decision to start winning, no matter what it takes, you can do everything right and still fail.
If you don’t help your people make that decision, all the other things you teach them and do for them will be useless.
the lowest point in my professional life. But when you get to that point, you’ve got to decide whether you’re going to be frustrated and bitter, or fight and compete.
One of the special characteristics of winners is that they never think that they haven’t got a chance to win. Even in the toughest times, they just never see themselves losing.
Quitters are good losers.
Once you experience how it feels to hold on during a tough time, and beat a bad situation, you’ll know what pride and confidence are all about.
Before you can become a winner, you’ve got to become a survivor.
First, I realized that life doesn’t always give you a second chance.
I said, “Well, if this thing works out, great, but if it doesn’t then I just haven’t found my ‘thing’ yet.” That was a ready-made excuse.
the thing that I was missing was the courage to try.
You’ll never be fully happy or fully satisfied until you do.
