The other day, I was lazing around when my hands accidentally stumbled upon John C. Maxwell’s book, “The Power of Attitude and Thinking Big” – a compilation of positive statements from various influential leaders. Maxwell, who is better known for his book “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”, is an interesting writer whose forte lies in writing books that help individuals become effective leaders. Although most of his books carry different themes, they generally converge at one point – leadership.
“The Power of Attitude and Thinking Big” is one such small book replete with positive quotes good enough to ignite one’s passion to work on characteristics that build the leader within. As is evident, all distinguished leaders have traits that are not merely enviable but also worth emulating. Therefore, it’s important to build one’s character. This book eggs you on in this direction giving you inspiring quotes of Gandhi, Bernard Shaw, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill… and more.
One of the quotes that had a profound affect on me was Walt Disney’s “All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” I like it because Walt Disney himself faced bankruptcy in business twice and was once even kicked out of a job for lack of ideas. But, as we know, today he is a superhero of kids, having built a mesmerising world like Disney Land. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto are all his creations, which every kid in every nook and corner of the world is familiar with.
So, when Walt Disney says pursue your dream…I’d rather not waste any more time…
