“Wherever you go, there you are.” – Unknown, although Mr. Brady says it in the Brady Bunch movie

“When you find a fork in the road, pick it up.” – Yogi Berra

“I won’t belong to any club that will have me.” – Groucho Marx

I work in the education department of a large company so I have to sit through these motivational speeches and read a lot of quotes meant to show me the light.

If you are pointy-haired, you’re most likely to end up as boss.
If you read quite often self-help books, you most probably need them.

Only two:

Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. – my father

Everything you can imagine is real. – Pablo Picasso

Those two concepts have done right by me so far.

That article was written by Chuck Klosterman, probably the greatest living pop culture writer today. Makes Rob Scheffield of Rolling Stone sound like a 3rd grader.

Earl Nightingale said that “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.”

When I am _forced_ to play golf at outings with clients, I tell them (as well as remind myself) that, assuming that the goal of putting the ball in the hole is a worthy one, then any shot (no matter how badly duffed) that gets the ball closer to the hole is a successful shot.

Sometimes it takes a lot of little successes to finish the hole, let alone the rest of the day…
