LEADERSHIP
11. 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. - Colin Powell

SEEING
16. It is the obvious that is so difficult to see most of the time. People say 'It's as plain as the nose on your face.' But how much of the nose on your face can you see, unless someone holds a mirror up to you? - Isaac Asimov ( I, Robot )
TEACHING
17. Pejuang Muslim adalah seorang guru, yang mestinya memiliki semua sifat yang ada pada seorang guru: cahaya, hidayah, rahmat dan kelemahlembutan. - Hasan Al Banna
THINKING
18. Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open. - Lord Thomas Dewey
