We must not be hampered by yesterday's myths in concentrating on today's needs.

In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later.

Business is many things, the least of which is the balance sheet. It is a fluid, ever changing, living thing, sometimes building to great peaks, sometimes falling to crumbled lumps.

Performance stands out like a ton of diamonds. Nonperformance can always be explained away.

You can know a person by the kind of desk he keeps. If the president of a company has a clean desk then it must be the executive vice president who is doing all the work.

It is much more difficult to measure nonperformance than performance.

If your desk isn't cluttered, you probably aren't doing your job.
