did it ourselves." Lao
Tzu

at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses.

at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the

Why Change is Hard
There is nothing more difficult and dangerous, or more
doubtful of success, than an attempt to introduce a new order
of things in any state. For the innovator has for enemies all
those who derived advantages from the old order of things
while those who expect to be benefited by the new institutions
will be but lukewarm defenders.
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
Management works in the system.
Leadership works on the system. Stephen R. Covey
Outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost

missed over 9,000 shots in my career.
I've lost almost 300 games.

And that is why I succeed."
Michael Jordan

"In short, it is a
paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax
revenues are too low, and the soundest way to raise the
revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now...The purpose
of cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to
achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring
a budget surplus." John F. Kennedy
"Every leader needs to look back
once in a while to make sure he has followers." -Anonymous
