WORDS OF WISDOM
Thomas Jefferson
"BEHIND AN ACTION, THERE IS
ALWAYS A THOUGHT!"
*****
Henry Ford
"IF YOU THINK YOU CAN OR IF
YOU THINK YOU CANNOT, YOU HAVE SENSE ANYWAY!"
*****
Julius Caesar
"NOT ONLY MUST CAESAR's WIFE
BE HONEST. SHE MUST LOOK HONEST!"
(Addressing his wife Pompea, who was enjoying parties too much)
*****
Told Story among Brazilian Public Agencies' Employees
"IF YOU SEE A TORTOISE ON A HIGH BRANCH OF A TREE,
DO NOT TOUCH IT, BECAUSE TORTOISES DO NOT CLIMB TREES AND...
SOMEBODY VERY IMPORTANT PLACED THE TORTOISE THERE!"
*****
Myself
SOMETIMES
HYPERQUALIFICATION MAY BE A PROBLEM.
IF YOU CAN KNOW YOUR FUTURE BOSS BEFORE APPLYING FOR A JOB, DO IT.
REMEMBER NOT TO LOOK LIKE TOO MUCH SKILLED FOR THE POSITION
BECAUSE , VERY LIKELY, YOU WILL NOT GET THE JOB.
NO BOSS HIRES SOMEBODY MORE SKILLED THAN HIM(HER)SELF!
****
Barbosa, Rui
(Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Peter The Second-Emperor of Brazil , XIX Century)
"So much the human being notices the triumph of naughtiness...
So much the human being notices injustice rising...
So much the human being notices power growing in the hands of unprincipled people...
The human being gets bored with virtue, and laughs at honor....
And nevertheless, gets ashamed of being honest!"
