If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. ~ John Quincy Adams     The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.~ Vince Lombardi     Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. ~ George Washington Carver    Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. ~ Harold Geneen
