Insiders are not helpless, nor are you. In every area of life, you get what you tolerate. And it’s time to raise the standard.

You get what you tolerate.

When you're creating an environment to support your goals, remember that you get in life what you tolerate.

Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards.

when it comes to standards, as a leader, it’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate. When setting expectations, no matter what has been said or written, if substandard performance is accepted and no one is held accountable — if

when it comes to standards, as a leader, it’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.

But what I can tell you is this: when it comes to performance standards, It’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.

If you want to raise your standard of living, raise your standard of giving

If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in your life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve. You need to set and live by these standards no matter what happens in your life.

Along with this escalation in material expectations has come an escalation in what counts as acceptable in work and in love. our job used to be counted satisfactory if it brought home the bacon. Not so today. It must also be meaningful. There must be room to move up. It must provide for a comfortable retirement. Coworkers must be congenial and the endeavor ecologically sound.

Marriage also now requires more than it used to. It's no longer just a matter of raising children. Our mate must be eternally sexy, and thin, and interesting to talk to, and good at tennis.. these inflated expectations are rooted in the expansion of choice.

It’s not just about being a nice guy, we need to set the standards higher.

As a leader you have to tolerate certain things for peaceful co-existence.

We all want things we can't have. Being a decent human being is accepting that.
