RELATIONSHIPS
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship
is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if
our words and our actions come from superficial human
relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than
from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will
sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and
sustain the foundation necessary for effective
interdependence.
- Stephen R. Covey
******************************************************
QUALITY
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort,
intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
- William A. Foster

CREATIVITY
Creativity can solve almost any problem.
The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
- George Lois

INNOVATION
The INNOVATION point is the pivotal moment when talented and motivated
people seek the opportunity to act on their ideas and dreams.

Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.
You think about it; it's true.
If you hire somebody without the first you really want them to be dumb and lazy.
- Warren Buffet Courtesy of Janet B. Banks

JUDGEMENT
Statistics are no substitute for judgement.
- Henry Clay

REALITY
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better than "here."
