Business Wisdom from the Ancients #2

My earlier post of Business Wisdom from the Ancients caused me to look for another set of quotes.  These little gems can be useful during these stressful times:

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit…Aristotle, 384 BC – 322 BC, Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great; Focus, focus focus, what you do over and over you get better at your products or services;

Each day I grow older and learn something new…Solon, 638 BC–558 BC) was an Athenian statesman, lawmaker and Lyric poet; Education is life-long learning; it was to them and it should be for us as well.

I am not an Athenian or Greek, I am a citizen of the world…Socrates, 469 BC–399 BC, a Classical Greek philosopher; Think of your markets in Global terms, look at the world as your market.

Well, maybe these old guys knew what they were doing, huh?
