The great problems of humanity

Among the great problems of humanity is 'self-doubt' Those who doubt themselves do not know who they are; they try to be everybody else; they doubt their abilities, therefore they put on other people's identities.

What consolatory words are

Once we truly know that life is difficult, once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. Why? Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

People who try to pursue greatness

People who try to pursue greatness are usually not yet leadership material. This is to say, to tap into that power and step out as a leader, you must follow a process. Whosoever wants to be a leader must first be servant.  Our world is legion of  potential leaders. We need to recognize and nurture the gifts in ourselves and in others.
