INSPIRING VideoS

Batman Begins - The Will to Act

"I wasn't always here in the mountains. Once I had a wife, my great love. She was taken from me. Like you, I was forced to learn that there are those without decency that must be fought without hesitation, without pity. Your anger gives you great power, but if you let it, it will destroy you, as it almost did me."

The Dark Knight - Appointed 1 Man to Protect the City

"Gotham is proud of an ordinary citizen standing up for what's right."

300 - King vs. Tyrant

"The Tyrant would kill any of his own men for victory & the King would die for any of his own." Be a King.

Suits - Harvey Specter vs. Elliot Stemple

"What I can't take is losing to a coward who's too afraid to stand up & try to beat me again."

World Leader not World Boss

LEADERS LESSON TO THE BOSS: "Your leadership skills make me concerned. I don't think you're all bad, but somewhere down your path you got lost. I think you used to be a leader, but now you're just a boss. Bosses are blinded by pride, whereas a leader can truly see. A leader treats the janitor like the CEO. Have you ever heard of a World Boss or is it World Leader? A leader is who you should be, a boss is just meager. Entrepreneurs have a big responsibility, I believe we are the only ones who can save our World literally. We do it through serving our client's best needs individually."
