Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

Friendship

“What kind of friendship is this when friends give advice?  I wish they knew healing or simple, ordinary sympathy.”

From the sanscrit writings of an ancient Indian poet, Ghalid

Fear

The most destructive and dangerous of all human emotions is fear.

Belief

It is much easier to refute a fact than change a belief.

Be careful


Talent is from God so be thankful
Fame is from man so be humble
Pride is from self so be careful

Passed on to me by a customer in a store where I work.

You choose


We offer three kinds of service:
GOOD - FAST - CHEAP
You can pick any two

Good service fast won't be cheap
Fast service cheap won't be good
Good service cheap won't be fast

A sign I saw recently in a store I visited.
