| Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten) by Wharton School Publishing Quick Read | | This book brings joy to the heart and will leave you with many philosophical expressions that you can modify and use in your own story of success. One can almost build a proto-type of what successful people look like. If you like to be motivated by a heart-felt writing like this, buy (or borrow) the book. I like to think I am self motivated but this book is stimulating in every respect. It is a quick and enjoyable read. Once I started reading it, all other reading went on hold and I couldn't put it down (unless the grand children required attention). Treat yourself and turn the world on fire with all you can accomplish. | | Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten) by Wharton School Publishing Just Great | | I gave this book to a dear friend for his birthday. He liked it so much that he had to finish it the first day. We need more managers like Jon Huntsman. | | Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten) by Wharton School Publishing Words to live by | Perhaps the best statement about this excellent book is a quote from my brother, Bruce Douglas, himself a very successful and ethical businessman, "Great thoughts which deserve continuous review."
Mr. Huntsman challenges us all to live out high moral standards, simply because it is the right thing to do and it works. He uses specific examples from his own life to explain the concepts. The book is great read and a challenge to business people and to others. | | Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten) by Wharton School Publishing A must Read for everyone | | I read this book and couldnt put it down. I had to have my own copy,so I could refer it often. | | Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten) by Wharton School Publishing WINNERS never Cheat | Great Book ,JON HUNTSMAN is a great example to the business leaders.
It is everybodies responsibility to check their Moral compasses.
LET YOUR "YES" BE YES"
AND YOUR "NO" BE "NO"
- JAMES 5:12 | | Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten) by Wharton School Publishing Download Description | | "Next time someone tells you business can't be done ethically-corners must be cut, negotiations can't be honest-hand them Jon Huntsman's new book. Who's Jon Huntsman? Just someone who started with practically nothing, and built a world-class business that carried him to Forbes' list of America's wealthiest people. Here, he presents the lessons of a lifetime: a passionate, inspirational manifesto for returning to the days when your word was your bond, a handshake was sacred, and swarms of lawyers weren't needed to back it up. This is no mere exhortation. It's as practical as a book can get. It's about how you listen to your moral compass. It's about how you build teams with the highest values...share success...take responsibility...earn the rewards that only come with giving back. Huntsman built his career and fortune on these principles-from his refusal of the Nixon administration's corrupt demands, to his lifelong commitment to charity, to the way he approaches his biggest deals. You don't live these principles just to ""succeed"": you live them because they're right. But in an age of many business scandals, Huntsman's life proves honesty is more than right: it's your biggest competitive differentiator." |
On becoming a programmer
Mike Lee: “I often say that anyone can learn to program, but you have to be born a programmer.”
There are, roughly, two types of programmers. One type was in the computer club at high school and got a computer science degree (or two or three). The other type, well, didn’t—they were English majors, college dropouts, busboys, artists, odd-job-doers. (Cue Captain Renault: “That makes Rick a citizen of the world.”)
My advice to young people is to get a computer science degree, if for no other reason than you can avoid those odd jobs and get right to the programming. And it also gives you an early chance to find out if you were, in fact, born a programmer.
But one of the things I love about developing software is that nobody asks for your education background before trying your software. If they like it, cool, and if not, not.

The Delicious Generation
Rogue Amoeba: “I dubbed this new school ‘The Delicious Generation.’ Many of the design and marketing ideas of this new school seem to be derived from the successes of Delicious Library, and I’m sure many members of this generation would readily and happily list it as an influence.”

Michael works exclusively in Mac OS X, and mostly in Photoshop 7. Oh, and one more thing, he’s 16 years old and a junior in high school.”
