Hello Everyone
I have been on the road and am finally home for a few days. Got started on my new
book, The Customer Rules.
I would like to remind everyone
that I have an App that gives you really excellent common sense daily
recommendations on how you can be a better manager and leaders in all parts of
your life. The details on the App are on my website at: www.LeeCockerell.com.
Also on my website is a new section titled, “Lee Recommends.” This section
recommends great experts in every part of business which you might be
interested in for your organization.
I am also working with a group to lower health care costs for companies. So far
reductions are running from 12-20% by using good data to manage each
individuals health. The approach is very creative and makes a lot of sense. If
you are interested in hearing more for your company just email me at: Lee@LeeCockerell.com and I will make
sure someone contacts you for a review through a 45 minute on line
presentation. You will be glad you checked it out.
Today’s blog was self promotion. Thanks for following me and good luck on your
leadership journey. I actually tried to watch the last debate but found The
Real Housewives of New Jersey to be easier to watch than our potential presidential
candidates. I just could not watch. Am I a bad American?
Our politicians continue to make fools of themselves so don’t follow their example.
Don’t wait for times to get better. Go out and make them better for yourself.
You are one person in the world that cares about you and whom you can depend
on.
Here are a few thoughts about our politicians. Some things never change:
APPARENTLY POLITICIANS DON’T CHANGE CENTURY TO CENTURY !!!!
1. In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a
shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.– John Adams
2. If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the
newspaper you are misinformed.– Mark Twain
3. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But
then I repeat myself.– Mark Twain
4. I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is
like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.–
Winston Churchill
5. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support
of Paul.– George Bernard Shaw
6. A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he
proposes to pay off with your money.– G. Gordon Liddy
7. Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what
to have for dinner.– James Bovard, Civil Libertarian(1994)
8. Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich
countries to rich people in poor countries.
— Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill
Clinton at Georgetown University
9. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car
keys to teenage boys.– P.J. O’Rourke, Civil Libertarian
10. Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live
at the expense of everybody else.
— Frederic Bastiat, French,economist(1801-1850)
11. Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops
moving, subsidize it.– Ronald Reagan (1986)
12. I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.–
Will Rogers
13. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs
when it’s free!– P.J. O’Rourke
14. In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as
possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.– Voltaire (1764)
15. Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics
won’t take an interest in you. — Pericles (430 B.C.)
16. No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in
session.– Mark Twain (1866)
17. Talk is cheap…except when Congress does it.– Anonymous
18. The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at
one end and no responsibility at the other.– Ronald Reagan
19. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings.
The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.– Winston
Churchill
20. The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the
taxidermist leaves the skin.– Mark Twain
21. The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill
the world with fools.
— Herbert Spencer, English
Philosopher (1820-1903)
22. There is no distinctly Native American criminal class…save Congress.–
Mark Twain
23. What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.– Edward Langley,
Artist (1928-1995)
24. A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough
to take everything you have.– Thomas Jefferson
25. We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.–
Aesop
Some things are funny and sad…..Lee
