So, life is like, again, an icy ladder. So, when you climb up, you have to be really, really energetic or you won’t be able to climb up ‘cause you slip and fall down.

 

Stanislav Pozdniakov

 

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

 

Stephen Covey

 

And, growing tired, we turn aside at last,
Remember our secret selves, seek out our towers,
Lay weary hands on the banisters, and climb;
Climbing, each, to his little four-square dream
Of love or lust or beauty or death or crime.

 

Conrad Aiken

 

Character is what you are. Reputation is what others think you are. The reason that some fail to climb the ladder of success, or of leadership if you want to call it that, is that there is a difference between reputation and character. The two do not always coincide. A man may be considered to have sterling chracter. Opportunity might come to that man; but if he has the reputation for something he is not, he may fail that opportunity. I think character is the foundation of successful leadership.

 

Lucian Truscott

 

May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young.

 

Bob Dylan
