An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON MANAGEMENT 4
Don't serve time, make time serve you
William Sutton
The longest day must have its close -- the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of moments is ever hurrying the day of the evil to an eternal night, and the night of the just to an eternal day.
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896, American novelist, antislavery campaigner)
The key to setting priorities, the order in which you must accomplish things, is to ask yourself, "What is my payoff in doing this activity? How does this fit in with my long-term objectives?"
Success Magazine (American business magazine)
Time turns the old days to derision, our loves into corpses or wives; and marriage and death and division make barren our lives.
Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909, British poet)
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941, Indian poet, philosopher)
Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth.
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941, Indian poet, philosopher)
If, before going to bed every night, you will tear a page from the calendar, and remark, "there goes another day of my life, never to return," you will become time conscious.
A. B. Zu Tavern
Time will take your money, but money won't buy time.
James Taylor
Management's job is to see the company not as it is... but as it can become.
John W. Teets (American business executive)
A day may sink or save a realm.
Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892, British poet)
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
The Holy Bible (Sacred scriptures of Christians and Judaism) Source: Ecclesiastes 3:1
In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862, American essayist, poet, naturalist)

You cannot kill time without injuring eternity.

Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves.
Alexis De Tocqueville (1805-1859, French social philosopher)
A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong -- that's healthy.
Robert Townsend (1920-, American businessman, president of Avis)
Is what I'm doing or about to do getting us closer to our objective?
Robert Townsend (1920-, American businessman, president of Avis)

When as a child I laughed and wept, time crept. When as a youth I waxed more bold, time strolled. When I became a full-grown man, time RAN. When older still I daily grew, time FLEW. Soon I shall find, in passing on, time gone. O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then? Amen.
Henry Twells (1823-1900, British rhymester)

Successful Project Management: PLAN, EXECUTE, EVALUATE Sounds simple, but most projects aren't well planned nor are they evaluated well. The tendency is to jump right into execution and as soon as execution is completed (which usually isn't soon), move on to the next project without evaluating what happened on the present project and what could have been improved. Successful project management requires more front and back end resources (and less middle) than are usually allocated.

What comes first, the compass or the clock? Before one can truly manage time (the clock), it is important to know where you are going, what your priorities and goals are, in which direction you are headed (the compass). Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what's urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.

Time I have only just a minute. Only sixty seconds in it. Forced upon me, can't refuse it. Didn't seek it, didn't choose it. But it's up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it. Give account if I abuse it, just a tiny little minute but eternity is in it.
