Crossing the street is the best business plan we devise every day," Zyman says. "You set an objective: Get to the other side. You analyze the environment: Look both ways.

You run to the other side. Changing your mind is a sign of strength.

-George Eliot

This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.

MTV has transformed itself from a kind of video jukebox into a programming service pandering to teens and their legions of base instincts. The channel is now defined more by shows like the stunt-moron showcase Jackass, the shockingly kinky ( and even more shockingly tedious) soap opera Undressed, and the dull bacchanalian throb of its annual (and nearly perpetual) Spring Break programming....Only by a definition written under the influence of hyperactive hormones is fare like this good entertainment.

-Frank Hauck, executive VP of products and offerings, EMC Corp.

We spent most of the 20th century creating things that people somewhere might like. Then we broadcast messages to find those people and get their money. Today, instead of giving people a lot of choices and taking orders, we are beginning to serve customers better by getting to know them. A company that knows what I want has a great advantage over a company that offers me a slew of choices and makes me sift through them.
-Martha Rogers, partner, Peppers and Rogers Group

In the new world of work, passion and expertise are the Rosetta stone.

People don't leave companies, they leave leaders.
-Richard Leider, founding partner, the Inventure Group

During a crisis, my third command was always to put on the kettle. In the midst of chaos, no leader can deal with a crew of 18 upset people. By demanding cups of tea for the whole crew, I got one person out of my hair, and I introduced a normalizing factor into a crisis situation. If the skipper wants a cup of tea, it can't be that bad.
-Simon Walker, managing director, Challenge Business

Ideas are capital. The rest is just money.
-advertisement for Deutsche Bank

Don't assume that your people want a promotion. Talk to them, get to know them, ask them what they hope to achieve at work.

-Debora Wilson, president and CEO of weather.com

When your oven is jammed and your bread is burning -- that is when you will learn to use an oven. People can't learn in a classroom. True learning occurs 'just in time.'

-Anonymous

What’s popular is not always right. You say polls are against this. Polls measure changing feelings, not steadfast principles. Polls would have rejected the Ten Commandments. Polls would have embraced slavery and ridiculed women’s rights. You say we must draw this to a close. I say we must draw a line between right and wrong. And we must do it so every kid in America can see it. The point is not whether the president can prevail, but whether truth can prevail.
-J.C Watts, US Representative from Oklahoma commenting on the historic House vote to impeach the president

One of the worst mistakes anyone can make is to ever think they are working for someone else.
-Anonymous

I do not want men of experience working for me. The experienced man is always telling me why something can not be done. He is smart; his is intelligent; he thinks he knows the answers.

-Charles Kettering, engineer

And he hasn’t the slightest idea of when I’m going to whip the hell out of him.
-General George S. Patton

Whoever will listen will hear the speaking Heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there, Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God. But we may take heart. To a people caught in the tempest of the last great conflict God says, "Be still, and know that I am God", and still He says it, as if He means to tell us that our strength and safety lie not in noise but in silence.
-AW Tozer

Opportunities multiply as they are seized; they die when neglected. Life is a long line of opportunities.
