When an old man dies, it is a whole library which burns.
African proverb

Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first, the lesson afterward.

Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.
Aristotle

Remember the high board at the swimming pool? After days of looking up at it you finally climbed the wet steps to the platform. From there, it was higher than ever. There were only two ways down: the steps to defeat of the dive to victory. You stood on the edge, shivering in the hot sun, deathly afraid. At last you leaned too far forward, it was too late for retreat, and you dived. The high board was conquered, and you spent the rest of the day diving. Climbing a thousand high boards, we demolish fear, and turn into human beings.
Richard Bach A Gift of Wings

A twisted share bad man quotes

“A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life, to be thankful for a good one”

-Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

I know the difference between right and wrong, and I can tell good from bad. But I also know that the more difficult decisions come when we have to choose between good and better. The toughest calls of all are those we have to make between bad and worse.
-Oliver North

“No one knows how truely bad he is until he has tried very hard to be good”
-CS Lewis

“For thirty years people have been asking me how I reconcile X with Y! The truthful answer is that I don’t. Everything about me is a contradiction and so is everything about everybody else. We are made out of oppositions; we live between two poles. There is a philistine and an aesthete in all of us, and a murderer and a saint. You don’t reconcile the poles. You just recognize them.”
-Orson Welles

I do not love “good” more than I love “bad.” Hitler went to heaven. When you understand this, you will understand God.
-Neale Donald Walsch

If I say you are a bad person I can almost see you worsen.
Funny how my words for you have a way of becoming true in my mind.
-Kare Anderson

“Looking for the good in everything is equally as misguided as looking for the bad in everything.”
-Joseph Curiale

If it ever seems to us that the world is a place where bad things only happen to good people, it is because we still believe that bad things happening to bad people is a good thing.
-Philip Jason

Anything bad you say or do today can be used against you, anything good will be forgotten
-D

If we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
-Howard Zinn

There are no principles; there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances.
-Honore de Balzac

“There are many who dare not kill themselves for fear of what the neighbours will say” — Cyril Connolly

The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbour.” — Horace

People have discovered that they can fool the devil; but they can’t fool the neighbours.” — Edgar Watson Howe

Do not mend your neighbor’s fence before seeing to your own. ” — Tanzanian Proverb

A nation is a society united by a delusion about it’s ancestry and by common hatred of it’s neighbours. ” — Dean William R. Inge

“The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything” — Albert Einstein

“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first” — Mark Twain

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.”— Albert Einstein

“The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”— Albert Einstein

“In the world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” — Oscar Wilde

1. Love. —The Prophets

Muhammad, Jesus, Gandhi, Buddha. All the world’s religious saints and prophets hold love as a central value, the glue that anchors the universe.

We hear, “Love makes the world go round,” and “Love heals all wounds.” These are familiar themes: love of friends, ideas, and self. Love of God and of country. Even love of life itself. If I could only have one word for all eternity, love would be my choice.

2. Know thyself. —Socrates

In college I studied philosophy under Professor Don Crosby, and met Socrates early. In career development, self-knowledge is everything. In a career, you can be two or three degrees off course and walk into a wall, instead of through a doorway. You don’t have to be far off to have it fail.

Career unhappiness often results from lack of focus, and lack of focus stems from limited self-knowledge. But self-knowledge takes time, introspection, and effort. So it’s easy to avoid.

3. Inches make champions. —Vince Lombardi

Under Vincent Thomas Lombardi’s direction, the Green Bay Packers collected six division titles, five NFL championships, two Super Bowls, and record of 98-30-4. Lombardi knew a lot about winning. If football is a game of inches, so is career success. In the competitive world, you seldom win by a landslide.

Buzz Sullivan, my high school diving coach, told me, “A champion is someone who goes so far they can’t go another inch—and then they go that inch.” I wondered why that was important. Now I know. Winning in business or in personal life is all about inches: going small distances successfully, then going farther still.

4. Nothing gold can stay. —Robert Frost

We are swamped in change. And we had better get used to it, or at least figure out how to deal with it. In our parents’ day, career change was uncommon. The norm was lifetime employment. Now CAREER = CHANGE. You’ll have five careers in a lifetime, maybe six. Perhaps you’ll do part-time, project, interim, or consulting work. And even if you’re in your ideal dream job today, that might change tomorrow. Nothing gold can stay.

Martin Bucco taught English literature at Colorado State University, and first brought my attention to what words could mean. Bucco spoke of what he called “the great dead minds,” those who have come before us and written their thoughts. He also said, “Time in life is short. You can only read so many books, so choose wisely.” We spent many classes unwrapping Robert Frost’s genius, and this is one of the poems that hit home:

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY — by Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

5. Work is love made visible. —Kahlil Gibran

About 80% of people are unhappy at work, and 20% are happy. Our culture has separated work from passion, and taught us to prefer a higher paycheck to higher happiness. That mistake costs us our souls. The goal of career development is to uncover one’s gifts and passions, and to link them to the practical needs of the world. We call that “being in the right place,” “finding a good fit,” or “making the best use of one’s talents.”
In What Color Is Your Parachute? my mentor, Dick Bolles, quotes Fred Buechner, who writes, “There are all different kinds of voices calling you to all different kinds of work . . . (and) the place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” [2001 Edition, page 57.]
High compensation and high happiness are not incompatible. It’s not that we shouldn’t seek money, and lots of it; many of our clients do. But we should first seek to love, or at least to like, what we’re doing. That’s the realization of our highest calling.

6. No great thing is created suddenly. —Epictetus (A.D.200)

We live in a McDonald’s culture. We want everything instantly and without effort. And we bristle when others around us appear to be getting more, sooner. Waiting for rewards or results is out of favor. It is so uncool.
Many things are created suddenly: the two-day house makeovers on HOME & GARDEN TELEVISION, for example, but they aren’t great. They are adequate, functional, or practical improvements. Greatness requires thought and time, effort and sacrifice. Especially sacrifice.
Stellar careers aren’t built overnight. Take the orthopedic surgeon, whose education extends 15 years past high school. Take the country western star on Grand Ole’ Opry. Take the NFL quarterback or wide receiver, the CEOs, CFOs, and Vice Presidents of brand-name companies. Think about Edison, Einstein, or Galileo, or anyone else you might admire. None of them got there overnight.

Great careers are built upon hundreds of thousands of small efforts, undertaken daily, that eventually grow into a series of satisfying wins. An ad for Paul Masson Vineyards picturing a bottle of wine said, “Nothing good happens fast.” I framed it, and hung it in my office.

7. Well done is better than well said. —Benjamin Franklin

This is a variation on “Actions speak louder than words” and on Shakespeare’s superb quote, “Talkers are no good doers.” An executive search consultant who recruited 500 bank presidents told me, “There are two kinds of candidates: tap dancers and superstars. Tap dancers go through the motions and superstars get the work done. I recruit the superstars.”

8. No wind favors he who has no destined port. —Montaigne

The cliche, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there,” is valid. And many careers are broken by lack of direction. Corporations define this concept as having a mission or vision, and organizations lacking vision usually flounder. “Career Planning” speaks to the idea of creating a blueprint for your future. That is, having a goal, a destined port—fulfilling your destiny. Stephen R. Covey said it well in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People when he advised us to “Begin with the end in mind.”

9. Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. —Seneca

I’ve been there. You’ve been there. Sometimes life is hard. You hit a career roadblock or dead end. Nothing seems to be working. You’re fired or laid off. Or worse yet, you and your spouse are both unemployed. It happens. And it happens more frequently than you might imagine, to good people, qualified candidates, because of circumstances beyond their control. I like Churchill’s words, “Never give in, never, never, never, never; in nothing, great or small—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.” And I especially like the quote by Edmund Burke, who said: “Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.”

10. Do first things first, and second things not at all.—Peter Drucker.

It’s so easy to do what’s familiar, comfortable, or fun. It’s so difficult, sometimes, to tackle the highest priority. And sometimes it’s difficult to even know your top priorities; hence, the phrase, “I can’t see the forest for the trees.”

We suffer from over-choice: 67 varieties of toothpaste, 487 styles of shoes, 186 brands of cell phones with 137 telephone companies. We demand more variety than we could possibly need or want; and as a result, we get lost in options, opportunities, and choices. There are 87 varieties of lawyers, and 75 specialties inside medicine. The world of work can be a confusing landscape.

When you’re flooded with career possibilities, or “swimming up Niagara Falls,” it’s good to spend time answering questions like, “What is the best and highest use of my talents?” and, “How can I make a bigger impact?”

If you can’t establish clear career priorities by yourself, use friends and business acquaintances as a sounding board. They will want to help. Ask them to help you determine your “first things” and “second things.” Or seek an outside coach or advisor to help you focus. Because if you don’t know what your “first things” are, you simply can’t do them FIRST.
