Best Advice I've Heard in a Long Time

posted by jangro on (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sage advice from Madeline Albright. It is intended for Barack Obama as he heads toward Presidency, but applies to YOU:

"When asked what advice she'd give Obama, she said two things. First - 'listen'. Second - 'be confident, but not certain.' She described Bush as a president who has been too 'certain' - he's 'certain that he is correct on all issues and then never listens.'"

Don't be a Bush.

    My favorite personal bit of advice/catchphrase, which I applied regularly when I was an affiliate manager, was "Trust, but Verify" (attributed to Ronald Reagan and others).

    What was that? I wasn't listening. But srsly that is a good point of advice.

    "be confident, but not certain" sounds the same as being HUMBLE...

    Mine would be this quote, "peace is her glory; war is his misery!"

    I like James Monroe - "A little flattery will support a man through great fatigue."

    Bushism has just started flourishing when meta-bushism appeared.
