Successful careers…

Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of working and their values

– Peter F Drucker

Anyone….

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young
– Henry Ford

Things which matter….

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To stay ahead….

To stay ahead you must have your next idea waiting in the wings

– Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Learning….

Learning in a face-to-face human community, as humans have evolved to do over hundreds of thousands of years, may always be the ideal;  especially in an endeavor that is as relationship-driven as business.

– Warren G Bennis

My best friend…

My Best Friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.

– Abraham Lincoln

Enlightenment…..

Enlightenment is man’s leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one’s intelligence without the guidance of another. Such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one’s intelligence without being guided by another. Sapere Aude! Have the courage to use your own intelligence! is therefore the motto of the enlightenment…

– Immanual Kant

He who asks….

He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever. When you realize that by changing your perspective, big things can be seen as little things, it becomes much harder to worry about anything. Commitment is an act, not a word.

– Jean-Paul Sartre

People….

People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas and fitting in instead of standing out.

– Warren G. Bennis

You….

You don’t know your limits until you exceed them
