Business Rules to Live By

1. A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.

2. Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

3. It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do.

4. After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

5. The more you put up with, the more you are going to get.

6. You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

7. When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

8. If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

9. There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

10. Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

11. Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."

If you send everything to yourself, in inner office mail, on Friday. Your boss will think you finished it, when he comes in on Mon.

Those who make the rules never see how stupid they are when implemented.
If you cheat your employees, they WILL find a way to get you back.



And so that I don't sound wholly negative;

If you get a paycheck from someone; work for them and speak well of them. Quit as soon as you can no longer do that.

Any job is 99% attitude and 1% small details.

These 3 lines are my email signature in my business Yahoo mail. They reflect my demand for perfection and never anything less then perfection.


If you don't push to be perfect in every thing you do then you will always be just average.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
