Quotes by Tony Thorne (?)

“In my business endeavours, over the years, I have discovered that there are only a few ways of doing something correctly… but many thousands of ways of doing it incorrectly. This explains why things go wrong, most of the time” – Tony Thorne MBE, How to be a Top Executive, & The Singularity is coming (Etcetera Press)”
