Yet again, the year has started with volatility and uncertainty.

I’ve compiled a collection of lines, thoughts and quotes I came across during the Christmas break, which I found relevant, thoughtful and helpful for the year ahead.

Know thyself and own it.
“You are who you are, and that’s what you are – and be damn proud of it…be true to yourself and you’ll ring true to the world”.
Damn Good Advice, George Lois.

Don’t forget to smile.
“Never give up hope. It is never too late to be kind, polite and a loving human being…If you smile, the world smiles with you”.
The Happiest Man on Earth, Eddie Jaku.

Make a lasting impression.
“Every Memo Is an Ad about You. Every communication that goes out over your name forms a lasting impression. Make it the best it can be”.
Start with the Answer, Bob Seelert.

Champion Courage.
“Believe in people more than they believe in themselves and push them to be more courageous”.
Trillion Dollar Coach, Bill Campbell.

Consider these “Pedestrian Tips to Success” –
