OWNING YOUR SINGULARITY
A "BAKER'S DOZEN" THOUGHT STARTERS: STATEMENTS I'VE MADE OVER THE YEARS THAT SEEM TO HOLD UP
-Permanence is proof of adaptability.
-We’re like fine old furniture that’s been painted over.
-Rearranging all the beer glasses on the shelf won’t produce champagne.
-Leadership, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
-Vision that matters most is seeing where we are and where we’re headed.
-Airlines are railroads in the sky.
-Those who succeed have mastered the art of applying the overly obvious.
-Eternal life is living the eternal truths today.
-Self is an empty suit.
-High-tech serves low-tech.
-Don’t visit the archives with a tea room outlook.
-Living as if it were true is living a lie.
-It’s not marching to the beat of a different drummer as much as it is drumming the beat to different marchers.
