Harvey Mackay’s Morals

I came across an archived newspaper article, which has some gems of sayings by columnist, Harvey Mackay, of the Orange County Register. He states, “We live in a world of 10-second sound bites, so messages wrapped up in tight little packages really grab attention. Here’s some of my favorite morals.” Over this week, I will be posting his morals in lists of ten.

• A foot in the door is worth two on the desk.
• Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the mastery of it.
• Negativity makes a person look at the land of milk and honey and see only calories and cholesterol.
• The greatest undeveloped territory in the world lies under your hat.
• You don’t have to shout to get your point across, if you use the right words.
• A person without a sense of humor is like a car without shock absorbers- jolted by every pothole in the road.
• The more you exercise your networking muscles, the stronger they get.
• The person who is everywhere is nowhere.
• People like to do business with people they like.
• Money can buy a lot of things except common sense, which is free

My favorite is #8. How about you?
