Today’s subject is on the ‘College/School of Hard Knocks’. To be a success at anything you have to take some hard knocks. If you’re not taking the knocks chances are you’re a failure who’s backed off or quit. Here’s some of my favourite quotes and a Sid Gatt cartoon strip…
I, on the other hand, am a fully-rounded human being, with a degree from the University of Life, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks, and three gold stars from the Kindergarten of Getting the Sh*t Kicked Out of Me
~ Rowan Atkinson
The School Of Hard Knocks…
The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum
~ Menander of Athens
If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches.
~ Carolyn Kenmore
Sid Gatt Cartoon Strip About The School Of Hard Knocks…
You’ve seen those scenic motivational posters on the walls
of offices and boardrooms. Which got me thinking…who
invented them? Do they work? Do cartoons work better?
I’ll have to Google those. In the meantime this was…
…THE FIRST EVER MOTIVATIONAL POSTER!
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
