Best motivational quotes 21

[epoisses_]

Heard in team meeting this morning, when one of the managers assigned one more responsibility to an already overloaded team member:
"This doesn't take any time. It's just a state of mind."

Can anyone top that?

I can remember when Edward Murphy retired from McDonnell Douglas, sometime around the mid-80's. His last job was working on the Apache Helicopter program in Mesa, AZ.

There are known knowns , Known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. But this...well its a whole new category!

Are you from Northern Ireland Ashtree? This was an official response given by our supposed head of state (First Minister) in response to the ongoing enquiry into a flawed renewable energy scheme she was responsible for which will cost our economy 500 million. businesses were being paid more to run wood chip burners than the fuel was costing them, the more they burnt, the more profit made! General opinion is there are a lot more known knowns than she is letting the public know.

As for quotes I have 2 favourites:

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got! (attributed to Henry Ford among others)

Some of the worlds greatest feats have been achieved by people not smart enough to know they were impossible

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough your are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.

[ashtree]

No, I am not from Northern Ireland.
Sometimes I wish was.
Sometimes I feel like I am.
Sometimes I feel like I must have been.
Most times though I am glad I am not.

Regards
Ashtree

Hehe. Maybe it's true though. My sweetie will always go-off on the Girl Scouts when you bring them up. She was always GREATLY disappointed that they didn't do things the Boy Scouts were doing. I suspect that may have improved considerably since her time in the GScouts.
