We've got a new expression at work hanging on the wall, of which I fall into because its in my character.

The statement was written by G.B. Shaw

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world.
The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends upon the unreasonable man.

Another item that goes with this poster of sorts states -

HOW TO STUFF A WILD DUCK

Mr. T.J. Watson, Jr. states

We are convinced that any business needs its wild ducks. And in IBM we try not to tame them.

Just something to think about!

***************************

CAVEAT TO DALE CARNEGIE -

Even the devil (and a few elements of government and bureaucracy) throws themselves into their work. If, however, that work is predicated upon lies and self, rather than truth and the common good, then their last (and everlasting) rewards will be to roast their chestnuts in Hell!!

Do I have any particular entity in mind here - HELL YES, and they know who they are! Absolute power after all, corrupts absolutely, and nothing will curtail final retribution, even for the rich, the powerful, and the well (?) connected!

It never ceases to amaze me how some fools can fool themselves above all others! I, however, will never bow to the self-rewarding, vicious, and damning whims of such liars and perverters!

"I am still here and I will prevail, one way or another - count upon it!!"
