Lessons in Leadership- Morals

I came across an archived newspaper article, which has some gems of sayings by columnist, Harvey Mackay, of the Orange County Register. He states, "We live in a world of 10-second sound bites, so messages wrapped up in tight little packages really grab attention. Here's some of my favorite morals." Over this week, I will be posting his morals in lists of ten.
  • A foot in the door is worth two on the desk.
  • Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the mastery of it.
  • Negativity makes a person look at the land of milk and honey and see only calories and cholesterol.
  • The greatest undeveloped territory in the world lies under your hat.
  • You don't have to shout to get your point across, if you use the right words.
  • A person without a sense of humor is like a car without shock absorbers- jolted by every pothole in the road.
  • The more you exercise your networking muscles, the stronger they get.
  • The person who is everywhere is nowhere.
  • People like to do business with people they like.
  • Money can buy a lot of things except common sense, which is free.
