  4. Doing a job right the first time gets the job done. Doing the job wrong several times gives you job security.
  5. When seven departmental heads of a large Birmingham company were invited to attend a seminar on “Delegation”, five of them sent their deputies.
  6. You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, a combination of which keeps this company going.
  7. If you think your boss is stupid, remember; you wouldn’t have a job if he was any smarter. Albert Grant
  8. It is not real work unless you would rather be doing something else. J.M. Barrie
  9. The trouble with being in the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat. Lily Tomlin
