Mistake Quotes A-Z by Author |
Everybody
makes business mistakes. I mean, I take the responsibility, and I did. I was the
captain of the ship and I took that responsibility.

There is a spiritual side to our connection with the planet. And in this
material world, that's anathema. It is somewhat worrying. What I say.. it makes
life. It gives us fulfilment. It makes us whole human beings. And without it,
we make mistakes. And, boy, are the leaders of the world making mistakes at the
moment.
Bob
Brown - Life

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment
of your goals and dreams, you must realize
that not every action will be perfect. Not
every action will produce the desired result.
Not every action will work. Making mistakes,
getting it almost right, and experimenting
to see what happens are all part of the
process of eventually getting it right.

in having the courage to admit one's errors.

people's opinions..

You can't overestimate the need to plan
and prepare. In most of the mistakes I've
made, there has been this common theme of
inadequate planning beforehand. You really

The bottom line is that if I did it, you
can do it. I got rich without the benefit
of a college education or a penny of capital
but making many errors along the way. I
went from being a pauper.. a hippie dropout
on the dole, living in a crummy room without
the proverbial pot to piss in, without even
the money to pay the rent, without a clue
as to what to do next.. to being rich..

I think one of the big errors people are
making right now is thinking that old-style
businesses will be obsolete, when actually
they will be an important part of this new
civilization. Some retail groups are introducing
e-commerce and think that the "bricks"
are no longer useful. But they will continue
to be important.
Carlos
Slim Helu - Technology

If you're a car salesman, and someone says
"This is a terrible car, I'm not buying
it," it doesn't mean they hate you.

business make.. they're so tied to their
act they take everything personally.

so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

will fit into a company's culture. When

The mistake made by all previous systems
of ethics has been the failure to recognize
that life as such is the mysterious value
with which they have to deal. All spiritual
life meets us within natural life. Reverence
for life, therefore, is applied to natural
life and spiritual life alike. In the parable
of Jesus, the shepherd saves not merely
the soul of the lost sheep but the whole
animal. The stronger the reverence for natural
life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual
life.
