There is nothing worse than doing the wrong thing well.
An employer has no business with a man's personality. Employment is a specific contract calling for a specific performance. . . Any attempt to go beyond that is usurpation. It is immoral as well as an illegal intrusion of privacy. It is abuse of power. An employee owes no "loyalty," he owes no "love" and no "attitudes" - he owes performance and nothing else. . . . . The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.

I once read about a meeting of economists who agreed that if their forecasts were 33 13 % correct, that was considered a high mark in their profession. Well, of course, I know you cannot invest in securities successfully with odds like that against you if you place dependence solely upon judgement as to the right securities to own and the right time or price to buy them. Then, too, I read somewhere about the man who described an economist as resembling ‘a professor of anatomy who was still a virgin. ’
That love of movies is very much alive in me.
