DESCRIPTION
Ignite slides I threw together at FOO Camp. The last slide is borked up, but this is the third time I tried to upload this and I'm going with 'good enough'. What do the keynote people do?TRANSCRIPT
Practical Advice?Business for Dummies (or at least for me)
The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is
reason.
Bad AdviceWomen are cows at best...
Incapable of true friendship.
WTF?!?
Good AdviceI am that which must ever SURPASS ITSELF...
FTW!!!
WorkAll wealth is the product of labor.
EnthusiasmNothing great in the world has
been accomplished without passion.
OpportunityEntrepreneurs are simply those who understand there is little difference between obstacle
and opportunity...
InnovateTake the course opposite to custom and you will almost always do well.
ConflictTruth springs from argument amongst
friends.
ParadiseFinding the right work is
like discovering your own soul in the world.
ReflectLife can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
ChoiceEvery man is born as
many men and dies as a single one.
MetricsPerfect numbers like perfect men are very
rare.
ManagementWhen you disarm the people,
you commence to offend them and show that you distrust
them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both
of these opinions generate hatred.
RespectAlways recognize that human individuals are ends, and do
not use them as means to your end.
RecognizeThe greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.
MotivateAll human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
OutsourcingFor him who calls in
mercenaries, they are always disadvantageous; for losing, one is undone, and winning
one is their captive.
CommitmentBy all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a
philosopher.
