I came across quite a funny quote this week and thought I’d share it with you…”An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today. ”
It was written by Evan Esar – a very funny man!
I can’t find the word ‘quit’ in my ‘success’ dictionary. However, if I discover that something is not working effectively in my life, and after I’m convinced that the roadblock is secure, I’m never afraid to discard it. Then it’s time to swiftly pick up the baton that will carry me on to victory. In this day and age of incredible change we must remain fluid, ever ready to move and ever flexible. Our principles and life goals must remain solidly planted in rock, yet the road we travel on, to fulfil these and reach them, is to be set in sand. Don’t hang on to ‘good’ if ‘best’ is knocking at your door.

I illustrated Peter’s book and would be happy to have a look at your book idea and give you a competitive quote for illustrating it.
Sorry for not posting for a couple of weeks – what with my daughters wedding and then going away on holiday I got bogged down trying to clear up everything before I went. This got me thinking, I could do with some help….
P.S. – I really enjoy connecting with the people on blog (you!). So if you have any questions, comments, any themed cartoons you’d like to see or just want to say hi, just send a message!
I love the film ‘Wolf Of Wall Street’ – and this quote is a goal setting beauty from it…
The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullsh*t story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.” ― Jordan Belfort
“Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” — Napoleon Hill
A lot of people will tell you that you can’t do it, that you don’t have what it takes, but if it is in your heart and you feel it, there is nothing that will stop you. It is like the sun – you can’t block it: it will shine regardless, if that is what you want.
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!
