Robin Sharma Quotes

You never, ever give up the chance to change things, ever, no matter how hard it is. If you're elected, and have got the opportunity to make a difference, you take it.

Become part of the solution rather than part of the problem

Leadership is a mindset in action. So don't wait for the title. Leadership isn't something that anyone can give you - you have to earn it and claim it for yourself.

Victims recite problems. Leaders develop solutions. That might seem like common sense, but common sense is rarely common practice.

The rule for effective governance is simple. It is one Ronald Reagan knew by heart. And one that he successfully employed with Social Security and the Cold War. When there is a problem, you fix it. That is the job you have been sent to do and you cannot wait for someone else to do it for you.

Leadership is not about a title, degree or level. Anybody can lead at any time.

Any Idiot can point out a problem .... A leader is willing to do something about it! Leaders solve problems!

Worry less about solutions from the top or the idea that there is a solution, but try to do whatever you can and instill in each action the values that you want to result.

Do not advise too much: do the job yourself. This is the only advice you can give to others. Do it and others will follow.

Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.

Great leaders don't rush to blame. They instinctively look for solutions.

Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.

My parents always used to tell us not to complain about things but do something about them, so 'Can't is not an option' was almost a way of life.

If not me, who? And if not now, when?
