The best leaders know how to take complex ideas and arguments and distill them down into simple language.

Don't take other people's behavior personally
How people treat you is none of your business, it is not your problem, the only thing you need to keep in mind is how you will react to it.
Your power is held in your reactions. Everyone behaves based on how they feel inside and a lot of people have never learned to effect...
The Right Example
People won’t do what you are not doing, and they won’t do what you are doing, if you tell them to do so.
You need to do what’s right, but not have any expectations. Let your actions speak for you.
