"Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way." “The happiest people are those who do the most for others. The most miserable are those who do the least.” “Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity” “I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.” Dr. Johnson in Action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fYDcxM9jOI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Ji9WlV02M This episode is made possible by TheLeadershipPlaybook.com.
