Loyalty doesn't require conformity. If consensus is wrong, you have an obligation to disagree.
Weak leaders demand deference. Strong leaders welcome dissent.
Being a team player is not about sacrificing your values for a group. It’s about acting in service of the greater good.
Reminder that the Founding Fathers were young people — in 1776, Hamilton was 21, Monroe was 18, Jefferson was 33.

A batter who averages 4 hits every 20 at-bats is out of a job.
One who averages 5/20 is mediocre.

7/20, the league MVP.
There's probably some area of your life you're going 4/20 and feel hopeless. But upping your game just a little might change everything.
