Image via WikipediaI haven’t shed tears on a celebrity death since Dean Martin (and Kirby Puckett if you count athletes). Hearing about Paul Newman passing was sad.
Here are some quotes from his movies that translate into sound business advice:
- on Perspective: "Choose between yesterday and tomorrow." Message in a Bottle
- on Safe is Risky: "This world is so
full of crap, a man’s gonna get into it sooner or later whether he’s
careful or not." Hud - on Commitment: "Yes or no, mister. Ain’t no in between." Long Hot Summer
- on Quitting Your Job: "People like
doing what they used to do, after they’ve stopped being able to do it."
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - on Venture Capital: "a 25% slice of something big is better than a 100% slice of nothing. " – The Hustler
- as entreprenuer: "I have vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals. " Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- to entrepenuers hearing their idea
sucks: "Hell, kid, (if) they don’t do that, you know you’re not getting
to ‘em." The Sting
And my favorite:
- Don’t sweat the small stuff: "yeah well, sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand." – Cool Hand Luke
Thanks Paul. I’ll keep this in mind "…if I were you, I’d quit yappin’ and start workin’!" – Cars
