Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business. Thomas J. Watson, Jr. |

Some have a talent for working themselves, while others have a talent for setting others to work. Which is more valuable?…I think a man ought to have both. If he can’t, I think he ought to be able to work himself. The ability to work hard is, perhaps, the most valuable aid to success. Theodore Roosevelt |

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say “We’ve no money for butter.” And I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people’s gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickles for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes. But meanwhile we must stay respectable And must not shame the children; They mind more, even than we do, being noticeable. We will keep dry with sensible clothes And spend according to good value, and do what’s best To bring the best for us and for our children. But maybe I ought to practice a little now, So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple. |
