“Do you think that we're products of our environments? I think so, or maybe products of our expectations. Others' expectations of us or our expectations. I mean others' expectations that you take on as your own. I realize how difficult it is to seperate the two. The expectations that others place on us help us form our expectations of ourselves.”

— Wes Moore

  • Don’t make unnecessary enemies.

  • Unite people around a common purpose.

  • Tell your story or others will tell it for you.

  • Look upon your problems as opportunities.

  • There is no quick fix manual to cultivate mastery. The grind is a marathon.

  • Raise the bar. Push yourself outside your comfort zone into your growth zone.

The Last Words…

“Take a moment to pause and see each other’s faces, take each other in—behold each other… And then, if you can, draw back the lens just a bit, and see if you can behold this space and the characteristics of: who’s here? Who is represented, and whose groups might be represented, and whose might not be?  It’s not about blaming; it’s about seeing.”
