The more I read and learn about Churchill, the more I love him. Truly a great man.
We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle
If you have ten thousand regulations, you destroy all respect for the law
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries
- Sir Winston Churchill
Note to self, keep making it personal.
“It’s not business, it’s personal”
It’s too easy to blame the organization and the system and the bottom line for decisions that a person would never be willing to take responsibility for.
Whenever you can, work with people who take it personally. – Seth Godin
A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both. – L.P. Jack
An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory. Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Seth Godin once again nails it, in fact when doesn’t he?
So here’s to more failures, and less mistakes, in 2012.
