Well I’ve been overwhelmed with getting some work done on my taxes (the really bad part of being self employed you know what I mean if you’re self employed too), so I haven’t had as much time to spend on the blog. But what I will do is take this opportunity to share some of my favorite quotes that sum up a great deal of my philosophy about this business and life in general:
- I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done. Henry Ford
- All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure. Mark Twain
- Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. – Chinese proverb
- Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. – Albert Einstein
- Whoever wills the end, wills also the means. Immanuel Kant
- Well done is better than well said. – Benjamin Franklin
- The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Benjamin Franklin
- A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for? Robert Browning
- He who fails has no friends. Turkish proverb
- You must attack the laziness, weakness, and complacency of your peers and lead by example. Richard Marcinko
- How soon “not now” becomes “never”. – Martin Luther
Maybe I’ll sit down one day and write a blog about how each one of these quotes should be applied to this industry, or give examples of how some currently are. But first, I have to pay Uncle Sam his due.
