I have a motto: Solutions, not outcomes. I just wish folks at my place of work would use it. They seem to have been using the reverse for the last 20 years (I kid you not, 20 years of bad decisions!) I also heard another phrase - I don't remember where - that really makes you think about what you're doing. It fits with the above motto too. "What you are doing is right but is it the right thing to do?" -- Allister --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
