On this day in 1885, Mark Twain‘s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in the U.S. for the first time. While famous for his classic novels, Mark Twain is also known for little tidbits of wisdom that could inspire just as easily as chide the reader.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.
If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

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.
