The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not as popularly supposed alcoholism it's egotism.

Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.

There is a vast world of work out there in this country where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone - many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long.

Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.
