One of Zach's favorite quotes is:"“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. " -General George Patton "In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman." -David Ogilvy "It’s easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of whuat worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out of date." -Roger von Oech "Leaders can let you fail without being a failure." - Stanley McChrystal “There is always an easy solution to every human problem — neat, plausible and wrong.” - H. L. Mencken " We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us." – Marcel Proust, 1871-1922, French Novelist "What we achieve inwardly will change outward reality." - Plutarch " Happiness is a direction, not a place. " - Sydney J. Harris, 1917-1986, American Journalist "You can pretend to be serious; you can't pretend to be witty." – Sacha Guitry, 1885-1957 "The only thing all successful people have in common is that they’re successful, so don’t waste your time copying “the successful strategies” of others." -Seth Godin "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted." - Randy Pausch "Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things." - Randy Pausch "Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress you." - Jon Snoddy "Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” -Mark Victor Hansen " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?...Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson “Life is short, don't waste...Expand for more
time worrying about what people think of you Hold on to the ones that care, in the end they will be the only ones there.” -UNK “Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal.” -UNK “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr. Seuss “No man is rich enough to buy back his past.” -Oscar Wilde "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." - George Bernard Shaw "If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion." -George Bernard Shaw "You are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live." -George Bernard Shaw "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." — George Bernard Shaw "People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it." — George Bernard Shaw "The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity." - George Bernard Shaw "I'm sorry this letter is so long, I didn't have time to make it shorter." — George Bernard Shaw "Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads." — George Bernard Shaw "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." — George Bernard Shaw "Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time." — George Bernard Shaw "The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place." — George Bernard Shaw "Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course." — George Bernard Shaw "Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week." — George Bernard Shaw "Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not." — George Bernard Shaw "If your attitude is that only smarter people have something to teach you, your learning opportunities will be very limited. But if you have a humble eagerness to learn something from everybody, your learning opportunities will be unlimited. Generally, you can be humble only if you feel really good about yourself—and you want to help those around you feel really good about themselves, too. When we see people acting in an abusive, arrogant, or demeaning manner toward others, their behavior almost always is a symptom of their lack of self-esteem. They need to put someone else down to feel good about themselves." -Clayton M. Christensen "Don’t worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved; worry about the individuals you have helped become better people." -Clayton M. Christensen".
