"More than a hundred years ago, Kaiser Wilhelm wanted to get rid of his enemies in the German government. He noticed that they were all over 65. So he decreed that this was the official retirement age, and it still is." (Seth Godin)
As in "mind over matter"
- As in oil is gunk that makes farmland worthless - until the mind figures out a way to convert it into gasoline...
- As in the world happens to you - but you get to decide how you react and respond.
- As in "if you say you can't, you're right."
- As in "the pessimist sees the problem in every opportunity - and the optimist sees the opportunity in every problem."
