When Doing A Job — Any Job

All New Ideas Begin In A Non-conforming Mind That Questions Some Tenet Of The Conventional Wisdom.

The Man In Charge Must Concern Himself With Details. If He Does Not Consider Them Important, Neither Will His Subordinates.

Act As If You Are Going To Live For Ever And Cast Your Plans Way Ahead. You Must Feel Responsible Without Time Limitations, And The Consideration Of Whether You May Or May Not Be Around To See The Results Should Never Enter Your Thoughts.

Trying To Make Things Work In Government Is Sometimes Like Trying To Sew A Button On A Custard Pie.

Responsibility Is A Unique Concept. It Can Only Reside And Inhere In A Single Individual. You May Share It With Others, But Your Portion Is Not Diminished. You May Delegate It, But It Is Still With You. You May Disclaim It, But You Cannot Divest Yourself Of It. If Responsibility Is Rightfully Yours, No Evasion, Or Ignorance Or Passing The Blame Can Shift The Burden To Someone Else. Unless You Can Point Your Finger At The Man Who Is Responsible When Something Goes Wrong, Then You Have Never Had Anyone Really Responsible.
