“To educate is a great task but it is to put our personal effort at the service of the next
generation for the benefit of all humanity. Our effort in education is what will be left of
ourselves in life.”
― Paula Polk Lillard, Montessori from the Start: The Child at Home, from Birth to Age Three

“love reflecting on what I’ve done and on how it will help
me in the future. And in that afterglow, I’m motivated to do other positive things for
my long-term health. I want to stretch. I want to do my core workout. I want to eat
well. A whole healthy lifestyle springs from just getting out the door. Going for even a
short run makes me appreciate how fortunate I am to be able to do this amazing
activity—and have fun while I’m doing it.”

“We cannot protect our children from life, but we can prepare them for life. We can teach
our children to respect money and to choose their belongings and possessions with care.
How much we can afford is not the issue. The issue is wastefulness and lack of thought
about what we are given. Affluence implies responsibility and an understanding that
surplus is for sharing with those who are less fortunate.”
― Paula Polk Lillard, Montessori from the Start: The Child at Home, from Birth to Age Three

“Most people, no matter how talented, will at some point find themselves in a
position where one or more of their skills don’t measure up to the skills of those
around them. Great leaders find unexpected ways to bring out the best in
themselves and in others. Do whatever you have to do in order to make everyone
on your team feel like they’re valuable contributors. And instead of expecting
others to overcome a weakness, get creative and find ways to help them
compensate, which often involves leveraging hidden talents. Ultimately, you and
your organization will be stronger for it.
Muhammad Ali, who struggled in school because he was learning disabled, was
quoted as follows: “I never said I was the smartest, I said I was the greatest.” It’s
your job to help people be the greatest.”
