#101: Dr Wally's 'Parting Shots'

Before Dr Wally died he recorded a video, which he called “parting shots”. This was shown at his self-titled “going away party”. The two of us also planned that I would share his eight parting shots with you and give you my interpretation of each.

So that’s what you can expect to hear over the next Mondays and Saturdays. Here they are:

# 1. Short-term pain is better than long-term pain.
# 2. Any thing worth doing is worth doing poorly.
# 3. Today’s youth are more knowledgeable but not necessarily more mature.
# 4. Don’t talk about people’s attitudes; talk about their behaviors.
# 5. Loyal customers are far more important than satisfied customers.
# 6. Every system has an error rate.
# 7. If you have low morale, it’s yours, not mine.
# 8. Don’t work hard, work SMART!

More on Saturday.
