Quote of the Day by Norman Schwarzkopf

Leadership is a quality, a distinction. It’s something you’re either good at or you’re not. There’s no exact recipe for being a leader. In business, for instance, it’s good for the CEO to have charisma. Because the CEO is often the face of the company. But you can do without a charming personality and still make a truckload of cash if you have your game on. Attractiveness is a plus, but certainly not a requirement.

In sales, it pays to be convincing. Some convince through body language, others with their tone of voice. Master none and you can still sell if you dot the “i” with strong arguments. In sales, it doesn’t matter how you get there, as long as you get there.

Quote of the Day By Althea Gibson

I recently came across a sarcastic tweet about asking others for help when you need it, and it clicked with me. Pride has its limits. It’s often better to seek help when you’re stuck than to take stabs in the dark and fail.

The first thing you get in this life is help from others, like the doctor who cuts your umbilical cord and gives you a nudge so you can start breathing. Receiving help from others is an important thing to remember, if you ask Althea Gibson.

Quote of the Day by Arnold Palmer

When something looks like it cannot be done, it generally cannot be done. But it’s not because it’s impossible. Rather, it’s because it will probably not even be attempted.

Had this been the case all the time, we’d probably still be living in caves and hunting with spears. But, because of our drive for new knowledge, key members of our species broke their comfort zone to invent the future. Think aeroplanes, smartphones, cloud computing, 3D printing, etc. All these seemed impossible before those select few innovators made them a reality.

Quote of the Day by Charles Darwin

Evolution is synonymous with progress, and for good reason too. In order to push your species forward, you have to be at least as good as your ancestors. Fail to adapt to changing times and you will perish. Many living things have opted for collaboration to ensure their survival. From ants to apes to us humans, leveraging brains and muscle in groups yields great results.

Of the illustrious minds of the 1800s, none saw this more clearly than Charles Robert Darwin, the greatest contributor to the theory of evolution.

Quote Of The Day By Israelmore Ayivor

Character is important when you’re looking to build a team. Good training is simply not enough to propel a company forward. You need passion and determination to excel in a competitive marketplace.

When you do find highly motivated people, your next job is to retain them. Their satisfaction has to be personal, not just aligned with the company’s goals. It may sound like common sense when you read about it, but in reality it’s not easy to attain. Youth Leadership Coach Israelmore Ayivor makes it his duty to remind aspiring leaders that teamwork rests on the shoulders of each individual.

Quote of the Day By Jonathan Swift

Personalities are a dime a dozen, but when it comes to beliefs, much clearer distinctions can be made between people. You can’t convince an atheist that there is a God in the same way that you can’t convince your cat to take a bath. The same goes for spiritualists who ignore scientific proof in favor of superstition. Even agnostics are tough nuts to crack sometimes.

Isn’t it awesome to find that you’re capable of more than you thought? Unexpected realizations have a special place in our hearts, and for good reason too: doing what we thought to be impossible marks our existence in the most profound ways possible. Think the light bulb, the telephone, or rockets to the moon.

Here at 4PSA we work around the clock to hone teamwork and take communication to the next level through software. Like the salt and pepper in most cooked foods, VoipNow and Hubgets go together brilliantly. In fact, they might as well pass for a horse and carriage too.

While I was scouring the web for a neat quote to give you guys today, I came across one that speaks of our mission, and our products implicitly. From the movie Fireproof:
