When you think you cannot lead people, find at least one person and help him become a better person. Then find another, then another until you are able to create your own tribe. When you think that there is way you can succeed in life, be like water.Find your way. When walls are too ...

Speak from the heart

You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart. – John Ford You can be a fast-talking-mouth machine, but unless you speak from the heart you cannot truly become an inspirational speaker.
