'When you discover that you're riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.'
However, in government more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip to be used on dead horses.
2. Changing riders.
3. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
4. Appointing a committee to study the dead horse.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living impaired, thus entitling it to benefits.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all dead horses.
12. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than live horses.
13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.";

quotes[100]="A company chairman was given a ticket for a performance of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Being unable to go, he passed the invitation to the company's Work Study Consultant. The next morning, the Chairman asked him how he had enjoyed it and, instead of a few plausible observations, he was handed a memorandum which read as follows:
1) For considerable periods, the oboe players had nothing to do. The number should be reduced, and their work spread over the whole orchestra, thus eliminating peaks of inactivity.
2) All twelve violins were playing identical notes. This seems unnecessary duplication, and the staff of this section should be drastically cut. If a large volume of sound is really required, this should be obtained through the use of an amplifier.
3) Much effort was absorbed in the playing of demisemiquavers. This seems an excessive refinement, and it is recommended that all notes should be rounded up to the nearest semiquaver. If this were done, it should be possible to use trainees and low-grade operators.
4) No useful purpose is served by repeating with horns the passage that has already been handled by the strings. If all such redundant passages were eliminated, the concert could be reduced from two hours to twenty minutes.
A Work Study of similar symphonies according to these suggestions would permit various concerts each evening. Each second concert hall in the town would thus be free for other purposes. The resulting energy saving would be an important secondary effect.";

quotes[155]="The founder of a highly successful company was asked what it took to succeed, 'The same thing it took to get started,' he replied, 'a sense of urgency about getting things done.'
The people who make things move in this world share the same sense of urgency.
No matter how intellignet or able you may be if you don't have this sense of urgency, now is the time to start developing it. The world is full of very competent people who honestly intend to do things tomorrow, or as soon as they can get around to it. Their accomplishments, however, seldom match those of the less talented who are blessed with a sense of the importance of getting started now.
One of the fine arts of management is the ability to communicate this sense of urgency to the people who work for you without lecturing and without being unpleasant about it. The best method is by showing your personal interest in their projects and their jobs, checking on progress, and being quick to help in any way you can.
Some associates - even though they may be extremely able - are naturally slow movers. Review plans with these people. Have them tell you when they will definitely start something, Get them to estimate how soon it ought to be finished, Then follow up and see that they carry through as planned, Lend a hand in any way you can to keep them on schedule. Show your appreciation when they make good on their promised performance.
Some employees react quickly, enjoy getting things done promptly, and like to beat deadlines. When you have people like this, be sure that you aren't the bottleneck. Give them attention immediately when they need it. Don't let them be frustrated by waiting for your decisions, slow-moving procedures, or unnecessary red tape. Make it your job to clear the roadblocks out of their way.
There's no substitute for interest. Things that you are obviously interested in tend to get done first and on time. If you show little interest, jobs may get done later - or perhaps not at all.
Be interested and stay interested - from start to finish.";
