Pigeon or Statue ?
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008Friend Margaret from Spain sent me these a few years back shortly before she had retired from her post in the UK with the Dept of Transport. We had met years before when I was guest speaker at an IT conference in London.  Her timing for the e-mail was perfect and I remember a needed smile crossed my face. Was it me imagining her wry British wit as I read it line, or was it just smiling at the thought of our friendship? Either way…thank you Margaret….I hope all is well.
If at first you don’t succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried. Â
Eagles might soar high, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines. Â
Never do today that which will become someone else’s responsibility tomorrow. Â
If your boss is getting you down, look at him through the prongs of a fork and imagine him in jail. Â
You have to be 100% behind someone before you can stab them in the back.   Â
Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue. Â
