In your face

From twitter this morning.....

On time

"If you want to be more productive, then start at the start: get there on time.

This may feel like an old-fashioned tip to give, but it has served me well for five decades in business." - Richard Branson

Train

"Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to." - Richard Branson

‘‘Sometimes I believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ― Alice in Wonderland

“You can buy a man's time, you can buy a man's physical presence at a certain place, you can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day. But you cannot buy enthusiasm, you cannot buy initiative, you cannot buy loyalty; you cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds, and souls. You have to earn these things.”
