QUOTES BY Colin Powell


There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

Get mad, then get over it.

Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.

I think whether you're having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.
