Winning

by Mike Buck

The Future Belongs……

by Mike Buck

“The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to [their] ideals.” Robert F. Kennedy (1925-1968); 64th US Attorney General

Leadership Maturity…

by Mike Buck

“A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962); U.S. First Lady, diplomat, human rights activist.
