| Thomas J. Watson |
“Follow
the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of
controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of crackpot than the
stigma of conformity.”
“All the
problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to
think. The trouble is that men very often resorts to all sort of devices in
order not to think, because thinking is such hardwork.”
“The way
to succeed is to double your error rate.”
“Wisdom is
the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.”
“When an
individual or a business decides that success has been attained, progress
stops.”
“If you
want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit
doing less-than-excellent work.”
“Design
must reflect the practical and aesthetic in business but above all… good design
must primarily serve people.”
“Don’t
make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to
lever yourself up.”
Have a great week.
