important taught
Nothing important can be taught, only learned.
best trying view
That's the relationship. You're trying to live up to the boss's view of your best self.
control fall forget instead love search
Forget the resolutions. Forget control and discipline, too much work. Instead try experimenting. Go in search of something to fall in love with...something about yourself, your career, your spouse.
original time
It's time to reappreciate the original software: paper.
journey greed curiosity
One path is greed, the second is curiosity. With one, the journey is to a reward; with the other, the journey is the reward.
enough-time success-and-failure possibility
Spend enough time around success and failure, and you learn a reverence for possibility.
inspirational thank-you appreciation
Nine-tenths of wisdom is appreciation. Go find someone's hand and squeeze it, while there's still time.

half add wayne
If you take the best of Wayne Dyer and add it to the best of Anthony Robbins, what you would have would only be half as good as Steve Chandler.
appreciate paper software

people lawyer knocking
Criticizing lawyers for lawsuits is like criticizing linebackers for knocking people down.

Nine-tenths of wisdom is appreciation.

And we are so broke and so dim-witted that we can't come up with any way to get more work. So our only solution is to send a lot of good people home. I am ashamed and I am sorry.
falling-in-love careers discipline
Forget the resolutions. Forget control and discipline... too much work. Instead try experimenting. Go in search of something to fall in love with... something about yourself, your career, your spouse
