Points to Ponder 2   ( on quotes) Dr. Robert Schuller gives us another gem which gives us a better understanding on the person we really are when you ask this question to yourself . "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" The Greek Philosopher, Aristotle, gives us another food for thought, which actually is pretty obvious and common sensical... "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." Sydney Smith , an English clergyman of the 19th century, understands only too well what forms habits and opinions -- "Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out." And as entrepreneurs, as those who did everything to grow the company, including deliver the goods, collect the money, and sweep the floor, we are often overwhelmed when we finally grow big enough to meet the experts and the business elite.  Here is one great advice, though I had failed to note who said it, "Don't be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce hemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are nicked by the real world."   7:54:50 PM     comment []   trackback []
