Over the years, many of our clients have grown to look forward to our weekly thoughts. Below are some of our clients’ favorites:

1. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

9. I believe that what we become often depends on what are fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t even trying to teach us.
10. The secret is not to brace yourself for change, but rather to loosen up and roll with the flow. Flexibility is one of the keys to being a good change agent.
11. It is easier to create new dreams than to cling to broken ones.
12. Most of life is lived in te attempt to achieve goals, not in some fairyland where the goals are already achieved. That’s what makes life exciting, interesting, and full of challenges.

15. It is easier to fight for principles than to live up to them.
16. People often find it easier to be a result of the past than a cause of the future.
17. The more facts one has, the better the judgment one can make, but one must never forget the corollary that the more facts one has, the easier it is to put them together wrong.
