The secret of business

The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.

Aristotle Onassis (The Economist 1991)

Leader

A good leader inspires men to have confidence in him;
A GREAT leader inspires them to have confidence in themselves.

Time to Change the World

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever does.

Margaret Mead

Isn’t it amazing how the same principles keep surfacing time and time again. It’s the commitment, the time and just working at it, one step at a time. History is full of “world changers” – Wilberforce ended slavery through sheer persistence (it certainly didn’t happen overnight) … Mandela spent many years in prison but emerged victorious …

We could do worse than learn the lessons from these leaders – Commitment, perseverance, hard work, patience and passion are all qualities that would help you negotiate your way through your business life.

Our body, our temple

I’ve reached the age where it’s harder and harder to think of my body as a temple. (It’s more like a building project that got out of control)

Suffering

I know a little suffering is good for the soul, but somebody must be trying to make a saint out of me.
