EVERYONE NEEDS SOMEONE

People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim
Not on success or on worldly fame
But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers
For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel WONDERFULLY GOOD
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we 'lock up our hearts' and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
That life's completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones and friends.

Success is bets measured
by how far you've come
with the talents you've been given.

The true measure of success
is not what you have,
but what you can do without.

The manager administers,
the leader innovates.

The manager maintains,
the leader develops.

The manager relies on system,
the leader relies on people.

The manager counts on controls,
the leader counts on trusts.

The manager does things right,
the leader does the right things.
