JANUARY 2013 - Words of Wisdom with Mario Calanna

Welcome to 2013 and the challenges, the joys and the dramas it will bring. 

We will all have these and need to deal with them the best way we can. Having a close family and friends is really important. We cannot,however, escape the fact that we need to improve ourselves. Our thoughts, our associations, our actions, what we read, what we watch (see) and how we act or react – is our decision and our responsibility. 

Society will not improve – unless individuals have the desire to improve, to be responsible and to be accountable for our actions and our conduct. 

No matter what position we have in society – we are all asked to be leaders. We are challenged to influence ourselves and others - so that we can enjoy physical, emotional and financial security. The ‘blame game’, the ‘poor me’ mindset – has never and will never achieve improvement, happiness or fulfilment. 

Jim Rohn suggests that a Leader should learn to be:

  • Strong but not impolite 
  • Kind but not weak 
  • Bold but not a bull 
  • Proud but not arrogant 
  • Humble but not timid


“Humility is almost a God-like word. It has sense of awe - a sense of wonder. Has an awareness of the human soul and spirit. An understanding that there is something unique about the human drama versus the rest of life. Humility is a grasp of the distance between us and the stars, yet having the feeling that we’re part of the stars”… Jim Rohn Leadership is hard work. Forming new habits and associations is hard work. However, the road to failure is always assured by taking the easy options. 

Is 2013 a time to choose? I wish you all the very best………………Mario
