Power

"The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master , unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty"

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Fame

Don't worry when you are not recognized, 

but strive to be worthy of recognition.

 ----- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865); 16th U.S. President

Words

No man has a prosperity so high or firm, but that two or three words can dishearten it;

and there is no calamity which right words will not begin to redress.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882)

Information overload

Human can't handle too much info.
Too much info does nothing in improving forecast; but increases confidence level.
With computers, more info does increase forecast accuracy.

Human should stick to approximation as we are good at it. Since we are estimating, just a few important inputs will do the job. And, rough data on the inputs will do.

Intelligent

If a rabbit defined intelligence the way man does, then the most intelligent animal would be a rabbit, followed by the animal most willing to obey the commands of a rabbit. 

- Robert Brault, writer (b. 1938)

I've no choice but to take aggressive action as he is interrupting my meditation towards peace abiding --- Confused

Reversal to mean

When everything seem to be against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind. -- Henry Ford When everything seem to be on your side, remember to be humble as waves sometimes smash themselves against hard rocks. -- Heng

Action

Our trouble is not ignorance, but inaction. --- Dale Carnegie

Time

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.
