Before Theory: Ethics of Life and Management !
From the The Big Time Blog
by Rami Kaibni
Managing any project successfully is all about Team Work combined with years of Accrued Expertise. It is an asset to have an educational background that compliments your field of expertise but "education" without "experience" is like an "arrow" without a "bow." You can never make a perfect shot with a temporary arrow unless you have a permanent bow called: "Life's Experience." Remember, you can never teach experience but you can always teach from experience.

Project Management
For everything in this world, there are certain ethics which contribute towards success. I would say, Hard Work contributes 50% towards success and the rest goes for Ethics.
Some of the most important and basic Ethics of Life are:
- Before you Pray - Believe
- Before you Speak - Listen
- Before you Spend - Earn
- Before you Write - Think
- Before you Quit - Try
- Before you Die - Live
Project Management is not any different. It has it's own ethics which contributes towards the success of projects:
- Before you Initiate - Evaluate
- Before you Execute - Plan
- Before you Change - Analyze
- Before you Blame - Communicate
- Before you Expect - Give
Always Remember: If an egg is broken by an outside force, life Ends - If an egg is broken by an inside force, life Begins: Great things happens from the inside !

If only everyone lived in "the green" like above. Ethics is an interesting topic.
Do you have a repository of these great quotes saved up over the years or are you just a part time philosopher?

Actually, I have some saved up over the years (Only the ones which I lived and believe in) - On the other side, I like to create some from my experience as well (Your Part-Time Philosopher Theory) :D

I have a friend from Columbia you remind me a lot of. He'd always bust one of these out mid-meeting and we'd all nod our heads. Awesome!

It's the old gag: people that pay for things never complain. It's the guy you give something to that you can't please.
