Robin S. Sharma

When I need to complete a project of primary importance, I'm around nature a lot.

One of my weaknesses is impatience. I just have this aching need to get great things done. Can't stand slow change.

Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world, and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have.

People fear leaving their safe harbor of the known and venturing off into the unknown. Human beings crave certainty - even when it limits them.

Forgiveness isn't just a blessing you deliver to another human being. Forgiveness is also a gift you give yourself.

We live in a world where many of us have a lot of friends on Facebook but yet we have lost human connection.

I believe we can accelerate our acumen, performance and success by leveraging our associations and spending time with people better than us.

Small, daily elevations compound into massive results over time.

Too many people start their day like a five-alarm fire. Instead, I teach people to start their day a little earlier than they usually do, and urge them to take the time to prepare, to practise, so when you get to work, it's show time and you're at your best.

If you're the smartest person you know, it's time to know some new people.

I'm not one of those New Age types that believe 'it's all meant to be' and that our lives have been scripted by an invisible hand.

As for whether I am a 'new age guru', I am not at all. I help companies build employees who lead without a title and become high performers.
