I'm a big fan of best-selling author Harvey Mackay. He writes about business, sales and leadership and typically ends his articles with a moral of the story.
Culled from his writings of the past three and half years, here are some of my favorites of his moral of the story endings:
- Change your thinking, change your life.
- It's not enough to know how to do things – you must know why you do them.
- If you live in the past, you won't have much of a future.
- If you want to outsmart the competition, you have to outthink the competition.
- Don't be afraid to make a decision. Be afraid not make a decision.
- What you learn on your first job will last through your last job.
- Minds are like parachutes – not much good unless they are open.
- If you can't be an expert, hire one.
- People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be.
- It only takes a little spark to ignite a great fire.
- Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing to do.
