Management Philosophy
"If you can not measure it, you can not manage it."
Peter Principle:
"Employees tend to rise to their level of incompetence."
Murphy's law:
"If anything can go wrong it will."
"Murphy was an optimist."
"That's funny!"
"Funny strange or funny ha ha?"
"Think outside the box."
"Be careful what you wish for, you may get it."
Software completion:
"When a software engineer says his project is 90%
complete, management knows 1/2 of the cost has
been spent."
"Those who do not study history are bound to repeat it."
"What people learn from history,
is that people do not learn from history"
"Change is inevitable."
"Nothing ever changes."
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
"Better to be safe than sorry."
The impossible to answer request:
"Please quantify your subjective evaluation."
"The Devil is in the details."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere."
"The Devil made me do it."
"No Guts, No Glory."
"If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it."
"Go with the flow if it will not bother you 10
years from now."
"If it is too good to be true, it probably is."
"Nothing is forever. Yet, still do some short term
planning and some long term planning."
"It is dangerous to be right, when the government
is wrong."
"There is a reason why in New York Harbor we have the
Statue of Liberty, not the Statue of Equality"
"The further a society drifts from truth, the more
it will hate those who speak it."
"A truly moral nation enacts policies that encourage
personal responsibility and discourage self-destructive
behavior by not subsidizing people who live
irresponsibly and make poor choices"
"When even one American, who has done nothing wrong,
is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth,
than all Americans are in peril"
"Free enterprise has done more to reduce poverty than all
the government programs dreamed up by the Politicians."
"We must reject this idea that every time a law is broken,
society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time
to restore the American precept that each individual is
accountable for his actions"
"When you want to help people, you tell them the truth.
When you want to help yourself, you tell them
what they want to hear"
"There are a group of people who would like to silence
everybody and have everybody "go along to get along",
but that's not going to be very helpful for us
in the long run. Somebody has to be courageous enough
to actually stand up to the bullies"
"Do not believe anything you hear or read.
(Until you have checked and double checked.)
((Do not repeat anything you hear or read
until you have triple checked from
multiple independent sources.
You do not want to make yourself a liar))"
"A preposition is something you should not
end as sentence with."
"There never has been, nor will there ever be,
a rule that is sometime best broken."
(Just have a very good reason.)
A bit harsh, yet
"The only absolute guarantee in life, is ultimate death."
"A place for everything and everything in its place."

"Fishing used to be good."
While many IT professionals have become less concerned with phishing
as it seems these attacks only fool naive consumers, a new generation
of sophisticated phishing attacks now target businesses.
These phish evade traditional antivirus and anti-phishing products.
Using targeted information - often gathered from social media sites,
they fool even security-savvy employees into divulging sensitive
information or visiting websites that infect machines with
dangerous malware.
