The Pearls of Wisdom

The pearls of wisdom that bosses, colleagues and friends have shared with me over the years are below. The fact that I remember them and regurgitate them, wherever I find myself working, I think displays their value and contribution to all that I have achieved. I hope you can find some pearls in amongst these and pass them onto those you value too.
