Quote of the Day

 

People fall forward to success.

Mary Kay Ash

 

 

Quote of the Day

 

The whole point of getting things done

is knowing what to leave undone.

Oswald Chambers

Quote of the Day

Most managers were trained to be the

thing they most despise - bureaucrats.

Alvin Eugene Toffler

Quote of the Day

 

You've got to think about big things while

you're doing small things, so that all the

small things go in the right direction.

Alvin Eugene Toffler

Quote of the Day

 

One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell

real from unreal.  Soon we'll need a new definition.

Alvin Eugene Toffler

Teaching & Modeling Consistency

When it comes to the behavior of people in this "modern" world, there seems to be no semblance of logic involved.

We all know that showing up consistently (and on time), and putting in the work, are required for success in any given endeavor.

Yet, we have adults teaching (and modeling) the opposite to young people.

The gap between high-flyers and also-rans is growing.

It will continue to expand until adults behave as mentors, rather than buddies, to the next generation.

Quote of the Day

 

The illiterate of the future will not be the

person who cannot read.  It will be the

person who does not know how to learn.

Alvin Eugene Toffler

more than they thought they were capable of.

Marley & Bobby

 

Here's a little preview of the wedding pictures.  Marley & Bobby were wed on November 18th, then went on a two-week honeymoon to Italy.

Quote of the Day

 

It is the classic fallacy of our time that a moron

run through a university and decorated with

a Ph.D. will thereby cease to be a moron.

Henry Louis "H.L." Mencken
