“The life of a leader becomes intertwined with the expectations of those influenced as well as society in general. The expectations are so high, sometimes seemingly unreasonable, but all the same a reality that can only be brushed aside to the detriment of the one who does so.

There are enough physicians and specialists to deal with medical conditions, allow them to play their part without disturbing their interventions by adopting untested bush-advice.”
― Archibald Marwizi, Making Success Deliberate

“When catering for your spiritual needs make sure that you authenticate the capacity and qualification of the person or people you allow access to your spiritual being. Being careless in this regard is as dangerous as allowing an untrained person to treat you or operate on you to address a medical condition.

Therefore use your belief’s spiritual standard, not a merely mental or intellectual standard, to get spiritual help.”
― Archibald Marwizi, Making Success Deliberate

“For the Christian, the Bible, the Holy Spirit, guidance from trusted leaders and a revelation from your growing personal relationship with God go a long way to provide guidance.

Or I have my own separate standards for the same principles I expect others to live by?”

― Archibald Marwizi, Making Success Deliberate
