Covering the business of education and training

Some of the best lessons I have learned in life come from people I never met.

I would like to share some of the 'words of wisdom' that I have picked up over the years.

Booker T. Washington said: 

You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him.

(When you throw mud at each other, both get dirty.) 

The world cares very little about what a man or woman know; it is what the man or woman is able to do that counts.

(What can you do?) 

Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.

(Consistency, dependabilty...are uncommon. What else?) 

What's your favorite quote? and why?
