The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-- George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.
-- C.A.R. Hoare (1934 - ) What a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of other people is even in the best case rather paltry and monotonous.
-- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of high intentions, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

-- Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915) The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.
-- Albert Bartlett, Professor Emeritus of Physics (1923 - 2013) Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.

-- Helmuth von Moltke the Elder (1800 - 1891) Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But everyone is not entitled to their own facts.
-- Sen. Patrick Moynihan (1927 - 2003) Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it! -- Charles Swindoll (1934 - ) |
