Mandel Leaders Words to Live By: “If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” —Jim Rohn “The people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.” —Steve Jobs “Failure cannot overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” —Og Mandino “If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.” —Mother Teresa “We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.” —Elie Wiesel “Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself; do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.” —Bruce Lee “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” —Charles Darwin "There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs." —Anonymous
