Look at a person's heart not their superficial image
Treat others fairly
Work hard but enjoy life
Give back
Care about those you serve
There will always be a need for help
Appreciate your accomplishments
Any differences we make in the world is worth it

CEO Speaks Blog (Sage Advice During Turbulent Times
"Diversification is overrated". Pete Correll, CEO of Atlanta Equity and retired CEO of Georgia Pacific.
Not only was I late and very turned around trying to get to this interview I had parked just two blocks away. Finding an office in downtown Atlanta can be a challenge in itself. I was quite familiar with downtown Atlanta but not the office buildings! About 30 minutes late Pete was gracious enough continue with the interview. (I had gone to the wrong building the first time and the number on the building I was suppose to go to was not standing out exactly.)

CEO Speaks, Sage Advice During Turbulent Times quote
"Being a squirrel eating Southern is just fine". Don Logan former CEO Time Warner Cable, CEO Seek Publication, owner Baron Baseball Team and still going strong in business.
I find it rather fascinating how people are judged by where they live, are born, choose to develop a career, etc. Some of the nicest people and smartest people I know are here in the Bible Belt and Alabama is part of that belt I am referring too.
We have Huntsville which is unique with the space center. Birmingham is unique in that we have a local government that can not get it's act together. Montgomery has a boat load of lobbyist and Mobile is cut out of the 30's era.
Don's interview was sprinkled with humor, the dry humor that infects intelligent brains in a good way.

CEO quotes from the book CEO Speaks, Sage Advice During Turbulent Times
"We're called to ask the big questions and take bold, but calculated risks." Daniel J. Curran, PhD, University of Dayton, Dayton, Ohio
Original planning for this publication was a desire to have 5 universities, 5 non-profits and the remaining for profit business. Even as the interviews unfolded that was not the way it would work out. At least their are a few educators within the 319 pages. There are definitely more non-profits but they are so strong I still think the book is well balanced.
Education is a passion of mine and obviously many others feel the same way about education.
