Join 📚 Edwin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
A sense of balance is personal, and it’s different for everyone. You don’t find it by trying to make everyone happy; you create it by taking a hard look at what you really want, and what it will take to have that in your life. Your life, no one else’s. If you’re worried about what’s “normal,” what others will think and whether they’ll approve, you’re done. Keep fitting in. Winners stand out.
I have not mentioned the financial control. By means of the summaries of the reports, my talks with the men who come in, and by occasional and unscheduled trips about the plants, I can keep a close grasp of what is going on. The financial affairs are as easily disposed of, for I find that if I continually know these items, I know pretty well what the whole business is doing: Sales. Profit and loss. Plant investment. Relation of quick assets to current liabilities.
Men and Rubber
Harvey S. Firestone
It’s true that his work was important to him. It gave his life meaning, and he told the Study more than once that it made him feel like a valuable member of the community, like he meant something to the people he worked with and especially to his students.
