Letters from Leaders

Henry Dormann has compiled an interesting book of LETTERS FROM LEADERS including nobel laureates, CEOs, world leaders, and presidents. Each letter from a present-day leader was written to share advice for tomorrow's leaders. It's a provocative book with lots of money quotes.

(It's also interesting enough of a book to earn my money and earn a blog post as this was a book I purchased and didn't receive free from a publisher or publicity firm.)

Enjoy the money quotes and consider riffling through this book for more inspiration and guidance.

Hi John, thank you very much for your blog…it’s great!...it has helped me get my tango videos seen all over the world !

I am a former businessman and entrepreneur from Austin, Texas who one day did a crazy thing and followed is dream by going to live in Florence, Italy even though I was broke, had never been there, did not know anyone and did not speak the language...I was 47 years old at the time....well it had been a 12 years full of unbelievable movie like experiences in a country full of MAGIC !

One of my dreams had always been to be a tango dancer and so I pursued that with a passion...I have now taught tango in several places in Europe and the US and have done performances in some beautiful theaters...bigger than my dreams !

And so my message to people is..
• Follow your dream...DO IT NOW !
• It is never too late...NEVER ! (like, life is too short, man!)

Come visit me in Rome John, we'll share some good food and wine and I'll show you the most beautiful city in the world ! (and I can teach you to tango) Here is my latest video !

thanks for the money quotes, john -- i'm struck by how so many of them speak to doing what you love -- perhaps that's a defining characteristic of a leader?!
