“I am often asked by would-be entrepreneurs seeking escape from life within huge corporate structures: “How do I build a small firm for myself?” The answer seems obvious: Buy a very large one and just wait. —Paul Ormerod, economist, Why Most Things Fail: Evolution, Extinction and Economics”
Tom Peters, The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work that Wows and Jobs that Last

Kent M. Keith
The Paradoxical Commandments

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”
Kent M. Keith, The Silent Revolution: Dynamic Leadership in the Student Council

Win Blevins
“None of them are willing to see themselves or others simply as what they are. All is colored with myth, with the ideal. Everyone is a figure in a cosmic drama—an imaginary drama.”
Win Blevins, Charbonneau: Man of Two Dreams

“I’ll bet (a pretty penny)… Bet #1: Five of ten CEOs see training as an expense rather than an investment. Bet #2: Five of ten CEOs see training as defense rather than offense. Bet #3: Five of ten CEOs see training as a necessary evil rather than a strategic opportunity. I’ll bet (many, many a pretty penny)… Bet #4: Eight of ten CEOs, in a forty-five-minute tour d’horizon of their business, would NOT mention training.”
Tom Peters, The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work that Wows and Jobs that Last

“To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi
