Quotes/Biz Tips
"Goals. There's no
telling what you can do when you get inspired by them.
There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them.
And there's no telling what will happen when you act upon
them." Jim Rohn
"It is the dull man who
is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull."
H. L. Mencken
"The only sure thing
about luck is that it will change."
Bret Harte
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think
you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Mark Twain
"It takes time to build
a corporate work of art. It takes time to build a life. And
it takes time to develop and grow. So give yourself, your
enterprise, and your family the time they deserve and the
time they require."
Jim Rohn
USA Today has come out with a new survey: Apparently three
out of four people make up 75 percent of the population.
David Letterman
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
Plato, Greek philosopher
"Success tends to go not to the person who is error-free,
because he also tends to be risk-averse. Rather it goes to
the person who recognizes that life is pretty much a
percentage business. It isn't making mistakes that's
critical; it's correcting them and getting on with the
principal task."
Donald Rumsfeld, Sec of
Defense
