Mark Twain
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first."
Mark Twain (1835-1910)
Successful entrepreneurs know that – in fact they feel that. I believe that is what drives entrepreneurs to create their own opportunities. They want more that than what the world owes them. They are willing to create their own reward. They are willing to take more than what the world owes them.
Teenagers, union members and many employees are still asking the world to give them their due. And then when the world gives them their due they are unhappy with the world.

Donald Trump Advice
Donald Trump Advice
Donald Trump gave some strange advice at the Learning Annex event in Toronto.
“If somebody screws you – you screw them back ten times back.”
Donald’s rational was that if one person screws you and gets away with it – others will notice. So the screwing back is not for the benefit of revenge – it is to scare off the other vultures who might be circling.
Donald Trump’s message is that you fight back – so others know that you are a fighter. So they know that they better watch out if they decide to tangle with you.
Trump showed that he was a fighter and suggested that you should be a fighter too.
Strange advice – but maybe good advice.

“The speed of the boss is the speed of the team.”
“The trick is to make sure you don't die waiting for prosperity to come.”
“There ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got raw deals. You've got to say, 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.'”

Canadian Quotations
John Robert Colombo, the great Canadian Gatherer released his latest book – The Penguin Dictionary of Popular Canadian Quotations.
It contains over 4,000 quotations by Canadians and about Canada.
In this book you will find these quotations from George Torok:
Management
Anyone can manage when things go right; it takes a leader to take charge when things to wrong.
Markets & Marketing
Selling is immediate. It is short term. Marketing is everything else you do that makes it easier to sell. Marketing is long term.
Meetings
If I were King of the World, there would be fewer meetings, and every meeting would be shorter. There are three types of meetings – boring, complete waste of time and postponed.
MotivationThere are only two types of motivation: fear and desire. Your greatest fear or desire always wins.
Talent
You might be tempted to think that talent rules. The problem with talent is that it runs hot and cold. Talent is inconsistent that way. If you have no talent but you have a system you will always start with poor results. But with a system you will be consistent and improve over time. It may be frustrating and slow at first, but you will grow.
John Robert Colombo is known as the Master Gatherer for his innumerable publications devoted to Canada. He has written, translated or edited over 180 books including anthologies of literature, collections of humour, books of science fiction, studies of the paranormal and biographical sketches. A graduate of the University of Toronto, John Robert Colombo is the recipient of the Harbourfront Festival Prize as well as a D. Litt. (h.c.) from York University. He is an Esteemed Knight of Mark Twain and a member of both the Order of Cyril and Methodious (first class) and the Order of Canada.
