Paradoxical Commandments of Leadership

"People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered - love them anyway.

Of you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior movtive - do good anyway.

If you're successful, you'll win false friends and true enemies - succeed anyway.

The good you do today will perhaps be forgotten tomorrow - do good anyway.

Honesty and franknes make you vulnerable - be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest man with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest man with the smallest mind - think big anyway.

People favour underdogs but follow only hot dogs - fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What spend years building may be destroyed overnight, build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them - help them anyway.

Give the world the best that you have and you will get kicked in the teeth - give the world the best that you have anyway.

If better is possible, then good is not good enough."
