Motivational Business Quote:
Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.– Richard Branson
Handwriting on the wall: Also, writing on the wall. A
warning or presentiment of danger, as in The company was losing money,
and seeing the handwriting on the wall, she started to look for another
job . This expression comes from the Bible (Daniel 5:5-31), in which the
prophet interprets some mysterious writing that a disembodied hand has
inscribed on the palace wall, telling King Belshazzar that he will be
overthrown.
Motivational Business Quote:
A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost. – Unknown
Rock the boat: To disturb the balance or routine of a
situation: He has an easygoing managerial style and won’t rock the boat
unless absolutely necessary.
Motivational Business Quote:
You are not your resume, you are your work. – Seth Godin
Stand one’s ground: Also, hold one’s ground; stand fast. Be firm or unyielding, as in You’ve
got to respect him for standing his ground when all the others
disagree, or I’m going to hold my ground on this issue, or No matter how
he votes, I’m standing fast. This idiom, dating from the early
1600s, originally was applied to an army holding its territory against
the enemy, but was being used figuratively as well by the end of the
1600s.
Motivational Business Quote:
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We
either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The
amount of work is the same. – Carlos Castaneda
Between a rock and a hard placeAlso, between the devil and the deep blue sea or Scylla and Charybdis . Between two equally difficult or unacceptable choices. For example, Trying to please both my boss and his supervisor puts me between a rock and a hard place . The rock and hard place version is the newest of these synonymous phrases, dating from the early 1900s, and alludes to being caught or crushed between two rocks. The oldest is Scylla and Charybdis, which in Homer’s Odyssey signified a monster on a rock (Scylla) and a fatal whirlpool (Charybdis), between which Odysseus had to sail through a narrow passage. It was used figuratively by the Roman writer Virgil and many writers since. The devil in devil and deep blue sea, according to lexicographer Charles Earle Funk, referred to a seam around a ship’s hull near the waterline, which, if a sailor was trying to caulk it in heavy seas, would cause him to fall overboard. Others disagree, however, and believe the phrase simply alludes to a choice between hellfire with the devil and drowning in deep waters.
