We couldn't have gotten to where we are today without the advice of those who came before us. Now it's time to pass the torch to the next generation — share your own tip or quip for our future leaders to carry this movement into the next decade.

28Your 100% is not the same as someone else's 100%
27Don't be afraid to be your own example.

25The quality of your working relationships is just as important as the quality of your work.
24Want less and BE more.
23Your job ? your career. Don't lose your dreams in the daily details.
