The Wisdom of Will Rogers

Will Rogers was one of America’s greatest political sages.  Despite passing away in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot Wiley Post, his country/cowboy wisdom has passed the test of time.

If he were alive today, it would not be a stretch to hear him pass on the following advice to the business community:

1. Never miss a   good chance to shut up.
2. If you find   yourself in a hole, stop digging.
3. The quickest   way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your   pocket.
4. Good judgment   comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad   judgment.
5. After eating an  entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started  roaring.   He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.  The moral: When you’re  full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
