If you can’t explain it simply, then you don’t understand it well enough.

The less people know, the more they yell.

Communication is a two-way street.

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

The greatest danger a team faces isn’t that it won’t become successful, but that it will, and

then cease to improve.

ISO 14001 Certification

If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
