There is nothing

permanent

except change.

Heraclitus

If nothing ever

changed,

there’d be no

butterflies.

Anonymous

Prediction is

very difficult,

especially about

the future.

Niels Bohr

A ship in harbor

is safe, but that

is not what ships

are built for.

John A. Shedd

make sense out of

change is to plunge

into it, move with it,

and join the dance.

stars to hold our

destiny but in

ourselves.

belongs to those

who prepare for

it today.

- but do it in pencil.

Jon Bon Jovi

It is a bad plan

that admits of

plant a seed; if in terms of ten

years, plant trees; if in terms of

100 years, teach the people.

management requires

learning as fast as the

world is changing.

as possible, but not simpler.

Albert Einstein

You can't build an adaptable

organization without adaptable

people - and individuals change

only when they have to, or when

they want to.

They say that structure is

freedom, and in a sense it is.

to figure out what you can get

out of that.

Demetri Martin

Nothing will ever

be attempted if all

possible

objections must

first be overcome.

Samuel Johnson

The first rule of

management is

delegation. Don't try and

do everything yourself

because you can't.

Fit no stereotypes. Don't chase

the latest management fads.

The situation dictates which

approach best accomplishes

the team's mission.

Colin Powell

Precision is not

reality.

Henri Matisse

Almost every wise

saying has an

opposite one,

no less wise,

to balance it.
