My overarching principle is that personal development is just as important as professional excellence. Understand that you can’t do 25 things well, but you can definitely excel at three to four things. Focus on those, and don’t give up until you excel at them. Define your personal mission just like you define your professional one. Managers who focus primarily on numbers and charts often miss the point; winners primarily concentrate on the excitement of the ride and interpersonal relationships. Successful leaders, organizations, teams, individuals, and even successful families all depend on personal self-awareness and group assessments. Further, you don’t have to love all the people you work with, but you need to respect and trust them. Just like my father treated his orderly with sensitivity, so, too, should you treat those you work with, your superiors and your supervisees alike. Then, there’s no limit to what you’ll achieve" Never Ever, Ever Give Up Jay Sidhu
