Still sick and feeling worse today. I left work early and crashed on the couch for a couple of hours. When I got up, I fixed a cup of tea (PG Tips with a splash of milk). I’ll be going to bed early tonight after another dose of Nyquil.
Presently, I’m sitting here thinking about a poster I saw the other day with a list of life lessons learned from a dog. I suppose there are things I can learn from my pet dog, or from a cow, or from The Simpsons, but truth be told, I probably learned more about life and leadership from the movie “The Godfather” than from anywhere else. Such as:
- A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man.
- Businessmen understand offers they can’t refuse.
- Never let anyone outside the family know what you are thinking.
- Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
- Never hate your enemies, it affects your judgment.
- If history has taught us anything, it’s that you can kill anybody.
- Every once in a while you have to settle all family business.
- Leave the gun, take the canoli.
- Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.
- If you spoil your children, they’ll talk when they should listen.
- Don’t ever take sides, with anyone, against the family…ever.
- It was Barzini all along.
- There’s no better consiglieri than your father.
A lot of insight in these snippets of wisdom, don’tcha think? Certainly more profound than anything a dog can teach you!
Now just how do I get rid of this cold? I feel like Luca Brasi…
