People are not going to hold each other accountable if they have not clearly bought in to the same plan

Ex-
cuses may be true, but they are rarely useful. Focusing on our
excuses, even when they are legitimate, merely locks us into a
cycle of inaction.

Maybe only naïve people ever change the world

By the way, forty million
water bottles are thrown out every day in the world or over
ten billion a year!

In every situation, we bear some of the responsibility.
When we focus on our part instead of other people’s part,
something shifts. This simple idea is one of the greatest lessons
we can give our children: focus on how you are contributing
to any problem instead of what someone else is doing. Take
responsibility, and most of the time someone else will take re-
sponsibility in return.

Our community,
our parents, our zip code, our upbringing, our height, our
looks, and the lucky breaks we get—all of these things in-
fluence our destiny, but they don’t determine it. That is why
personal responsibility is vitally important. The moment we
focus on what we can change instead of what others must
do, everything changes.

I call this stepping up. It is the
simple act of seeing a need and deciding that you are the right
person to do something about it.

Responsibility changes everything. The moment we decide
that we are the ones who are capable of and responsible for
changing things everything shifts.

Leadership is a choice. It's a choice to not do nothing.

Managers manage by using the authority the factory gives them.You listen to your manager or you lose your job. A manager can't make change because that's not his job. His job is to complete tasks assigned to him by someone else...Leaders don't care very much for org structure or the official blessing of whatever...They use passion and ideas to lead people as opposed to threats and bureaucracy to manage them.

Heretics are the new leaders. The ones who challenge the status quo, who get out in front of their, who create movements.
