Business One Liners - People's Opportunities

• Opportunity always knocks at the least opportune moment.
• Other people's tools work only in other people's gardens.
• Others will look to you for stability, so hide when you bite your nails.
• Our present business is not to exchange compliments but arguments. - Robert Boyle, 17th century chemist
• People can be divided into three groups: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.
• People do not change, they only become more so.
• People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
• People specialize in their area of greatest weakness.
• People tend to make rules for others and exceptions for themselves.
• People who are resistant to change cannot resist change for the worse.

Jealous, Honey?

Not that my wife's the jealous type or anything, but one day at work, I had taken this temp who was filling in for my secretary to lunch in gratitude for an outstanding job on a very difficult project. As luck would have it, there was my wife waiting in the office for my return. The temp, who was truly a ravishing beauty said, "Oh, Mrs. Moore, I'm so happy to meet you. I'm your husband's new secretary."
Within a single heart beat my wife quietly intoned, "OH? Really? Were you???"
