Wisdom for Wednesdays

Professional and personal lives can be so hectic and hurried.  It is tough to know with certainty what to do and when to do it;  How to solve a problem and get the results that you really crave.

To that end, WfW was born.  This is my own little contribution to the world with bits and pieces of wisdom that I have collected, given and received over the years. 

I hope that this series will nourish both your head and your heart; and also get your brain firing on all cylinders to  Lead well, Live well, and Do well.

"Pleasure can be supported by an illusion;  but happiness rests upon truth."  -Sebastien- Roch Nicholas De Chamfort (1741-1794) France

WfW: In a previous post, Do It Now!, I spoke of the power of doing things that are priorities.  It is imperative in our busy lives and culture that we make the time and space to determine what needs to get done and then to do it.  Mark Twain reminds us of that too.

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started.  The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into samll manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."  -Mark Twain

WfW: On the heels of the political Super Tuesday event, here is a quote about power that may really speak to you.   

"Like it or not -- and often we don't -- power is a pervasive phenomenon. From midnight decisions in the Oval Office that risk the lives of young Americans to quarrels over the kitchen table, power is part of every human equation. Yes, it can be -- and often is -- abused, in business as in all arenas of endeavor. But it can also be used to do great good for great numbers. And as a career-building tool, the slow and steady (and subtle) amassing of power is the surest road to success."
