A child who has a grandparent has a softened view of life, the feeling that there is more to life than what we see, more than getting and gaining, winning and losing.

Most meetings are too long, too dull, too unproductive - and too much a part of corporate life to be abandoned.

Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation.

Women on the way up generally fail to win popularity contests. The only compensation is that once you're there you will become very well liked.

Power always works from the corner office.

If you are hired to shake up the system, do it. No one will believe you're the boss until you do one or more of the following: 1. Add a new division; 2. Lop off a present department; 3. Add new people or reassign and reward present employees; 4. Get rid of deadwood; 5. Change the method of accounting; 6. Change lawyers, accountants, or other outside services; 7. Ask a lot of questions, and demand answers by a certain date; 8. Get in touch with key people in your industry or city and arrange personal meetings; 9. Improve working conditions; 10. Update present benefit plans.

A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.
