Inhaltsangabe

This compendium of quotations has been gleaned from a very long list authors, most of whom likely did not have work on their minds at the time, but whose words resonate nonetheless. Business moguls such as J. Paul Getty, Henry Ford, Dale Carnegie, Lee Iococca, Sam Walton, Warren Buffet, Malcom Forbes, Marshall Field, Mary Kay Ash, Steve Jobs, and Ross Perot weigh in with thoughts that can be applied to the workplace, but gems can be found from other disciplines as well. Legends of the sports world Vince Lombardi, Roger Staubach, Babe Ruth, and Yogi Berra share ideas which can lend insight, as do political thinkers Benjamin Franklin, Ronald Reagan, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Jimmy Carter. Enjoy the words of timeless elders like Epictetus, Aesop, Virgil, Euripides, Yoda, and Confucius, as well as military leaders such as Colin Powell and Julius Caesar. Chuckle with humorists Mark Twain, Phyllis Diller, Ogden Nash, Lucille Ball, and Will Rogers. Gain inspiration with quotes from pragmatists, motivators, and visionaries like Walt Disney, Napoleon Hill, Jim Rohn, Albert Einstein, Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Zig Ziglar. Be grounded by proverbs and sayings from around the world.There is a little bit of everything here, with ideas ranging from managing others and getting the best from them, to inspiring yourself to be more than you are today. And humor, because if you have ever worked with other people, you know the drama and absurdity that often ensues when a group of people tries to do anything together.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

K.G. Kehoe is a lover of books and the written word. In youth, K.G.’s dad would cut quotes from the newspaper and put them on the bulletin board in the family’s kitchen so that all could read and ruminate. They provided great conversation starters, with perspectives morphing over time as the kids matured and the world changed. Later, K.G. would write quotes daily on an erasable board on the dorm floor, and always enjoyed the reaction from classmates and the discussions that ensued. Some thoughts are timeless.
