What does it take to do your life's best work? 

Leader

A leader is a Change Agent 

I have always had a problem interpreting the word leader. By definition, it suggests that:as there is a leader, so there is a follower. 

I am not sure how to think of follower?

 Who is a follower? 

I'd rather look at the core of the word stem from the action of the leader.

What does a leader do?

Who is a leader?

A leader to me is an agent of change. 

Gandhi was a creative agent of change.

I prefer this term to mean the essence of "leadership" or a better way to describe what a leader is all about... 

Mindset

My content is a mindset because I think the whole thing, life, business, entrepreneurship, is a one or zero, black or white. It's very binary. You're either optimistic and on the offense or your pessimistic and on defense.

Gary Waynerchuk

Key to happy life?

After we have given our best and once the final card is drawn, we should neither become too excited by what we have achieved nor too depressed by what we failed to achieve. We should simply acknowledge the result and move on. Maybe this is the key to a happy life.

We have a great confidence in one another. 

That's essential.

"Memoir"

About Nina

As I got older, I tried to look st her and I said...Wow she is from Another time.

But she was not at odds with the times; 

The times was at odds with her.

I think when a person moves to their own kind of clock, spirit, flow...

If we will were living in an environment that allowed us to be exactly who we are; you are always in congress with yourself.

The challenge is how do we fit in - in the world that we're around; but are we allowed to be exactly who we are?

Was Nina Simone allowed to be exactly who she was?
