As you might imagine, my library includes many books of quotations, daily positive messages, and other little inspirations that I call upon now and then for some motivation or reflection. Without a life event driving this week’s tidbit, I decided to randomly select quotes from various books and see what comes of it.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart give yourself to it. -Buddha (as quoted in Simple Abundance, A Daybook of Comfort and Joy)
Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. -Ambrose Pierce (as quoted in Positive Quotes for Every Day)
You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. -Naguib Mahfouz (as quoted in The Daily Book of Positive Quotes)
Well, then, I guess the random wisdom for the day is to love your work, ask meaningful questions and don’t speak when angry. Pretty good advice, I think!

Tuesday Tidbits are weekly messages I send to my leadership team. They are generally short & sweet, often focused on leadership or teamwork, always positive and, hopefully, motivational. I hope you also find some meaning in them.
