Photography, Cooking and Sales

An amateur photographer was invited to a dinner and brought a few photographs. The host looked at them and commented “These are very good – you must have an excellent camera.” Later in the evening, as the photographer was leaving, he turned to the host and said, “That was a delicious meal.

Earthquake!

Well, Illinois manufactured it’s own 5.4 Richter quake this morning at 4:36am central time. They felt it in Chicago, St. Louis, MO; Louisville, KY; Des Moines, IA and Janesville, WI.

In fact, I only remember one thing she taught during that year… “When you butter your toast, you don’t have to coat the bread to every corner.” (back then you learned manners as well as math) So I’m thinking of Mrs. S [...]

Mark Twain for Sales Reps

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow. -Mark Twain This is a pro procrastination message. Here’s when I encourage putting off those calls and activities… You know those poor prospects that just showed up in your contact manager to re-connect? Put ‘em off to tomorrow. Or later. Or forever.

In early January, when a national deep freeze extended even to the Florida Keys, iguanas fell into their natural hibernation-like torpor, and some compassionate Floridians, unaccustomed to seeing iguanas that appeared nearly dead, took them indoors to warm them up, which is a mistake.
