“How does humility manifest itself in leadership and in life? A humble person is more concerned about what is right than about being right, about acting on good ideas than having the ideas, about embracing new truth than defending outdated position, about building the team than exalting self, about recognizing contribution than being recognized for making it.” PersonsDoeIdeasSelfMotivationalActingTeamPositionHumilityBuildingConcernedHumbleContributionManifestGood IdeasRecognizingOutdatedHumble Person Book:The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything Source: The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything

“In the biggest companies, seek out the most useless positions: those in consultancy, appraisal, research, and study.

“As long as a man is persuaded that he can make even the smallest contribution to his salvation, he remains self-confident and does not utterly despair of himself, and so is not humbled before God. Such a man plans out for himself a position, an occasion, a work, which shall bring him final salvation, but which will not.” MenLongDoeSelfPlansPositionDespairRemainsSalvationFinalsOccasionsContributionSmallestSelf Confident Author:Martin Luther
“There are so many men and women who hold no distinctive positions but whose contribution towards the development of society has been enormous. Some of them are not known even in their own countries, but when you come across them you are very impressed. Those are heroes or heroines we must never forget.

“Keeping your head down and doing the best job you can in the beginning gives you the opportunity to be evaluated on the basis of the contributions you are making.

“I've certainly stayed a marginal figure, though I became a member of the "surveillance committee" fairly early on. I can actually live pretty well with this, because I'm allowed to work in peace - except when I have to give strings of interviews... And also, I've never sought a position of power in the music business. I became a teacher not so as to found a Kagel School, but to transmit knowledge. My work as a composer should be the only yardstick by which my contribution can be measured.” GivingShouldWellsI CanSchoolFoundTeacherFiguresPositionMembersInterviewsContributionStringsComposerCommitteesSurveillanceMusic BusinessTransmitPosition Of PowerYardsticks Author:Mauricio Kagel
“I've made a contribution to my time and my generation through being myself, not through what I shared with the Rolling Stones. It's very bad for me and very dangerous to see myself as someone who had an influence on this song or that song. It immediately puts me in the position where my worth is dependent on how much of my soul I shared with Mick Jagger, and it's just not valid. You can use the gossip you've heard. You're not getting it from me.” MadeSoulUseSongGenerationsHeardInfluenceDangerousPositionStonesMy SoulMy TimeContributionDependentGossipRollingMy GenerationRolling StonesBeing MyselfJagger Author:Marianne Faithfull
