Words of Wisdom: Mary Kay Ash
Mary Kay Ash was an American entrepreneur known for cosmetics direct marketing company. Here are some of her quotes:
- You can have anything in this world you want, if you want it badly enough and you're willing to pay the price
- Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway
- We treat our people like royalty. If you honor and serve the people who work for you, they will honor and serve you
- If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right
- The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang
- Sandwich every bit of criticism between two layers of praise
- Criticize the act, not the person
- We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don't know where you're aiming, you don't have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared
- Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve
- A company is only as good as the people it keeps
- Give yourself something to work toward - constantly
- Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people
- Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist
- Dare to risk public criticism
- Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try
- No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important
- People are definitely a company's greatest asset. It doesn't make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps
- Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret
- For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour
- A good goal is like a strenuous exercise - it makes you stretch
- People fall forward to success
- There are two things people want more than sex and money... recognition and praise
- A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one
- Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel
