25- Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently. - Henry Ford
Once again, Henry Fords, simplicity strikes me. Failure was never final to him, nor was it fatal, Like his contemporary, Thomas Edison, he expected failure on the way to success. Its was all part of the learning process. He allowed failure to tutor him, then he continued on down the path that much smarter and wiser.
26- Show me the thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a filure - Thomes Edison
I find it terribly difficult to understand a person who is so satisfied with their present accomplishments that they have no desire to risk attempting something new. There is nothing wrong with spirutal contentment with our possessions and resources, but each of us should carry to our grave a holy dissatisfaction with our achievements.
27- I will have no man work for me who has not the capacity to become a partner - J.C Penny
I have heard many single women say they won't date a man who isn't a potential marriage partnet. They don't want to waste thier time with unproductive emotinoal entanglements. J.C Penney looked at employees the same way. He looked for the raw ability in all of them - the capacity to rise in the organization. If necessary, it is wise to create a positionn for those kind of people when you find them.
The Power of Leadership - John C. Maxwell
