POPULARITY
Sabotage. Intimidation. Disinformation and junk mail campaigns. These were the four horsemen of John H. Patterson, the mad king of Dayton, Ohio. As founder of the National Cash Register Company in 1884, he contributed little to the design of the world's first cash registers. As a marketer and ruthless monopolist, he revolutionized sales practices in the United States, building a sprawling empire that went out of its way to gobble up even the most marginal competitors. In time, his monomania and eccentricities led to his own demise, but his legacy as an industrialist was nothing if not complex.

Welcome to Day 1984 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Always Decide – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1984 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from John H. Patterson, and it is: An leader is a person who always decides; sometimes he decides correctly, but he always decides. Always Decide One significant difference between a person who leads effectively and a person who does not is their ability to make decisions on a timely basis. Every one of us is continually making decisions and choices, even if the decision is not to decide. Those who rise as authentic leaders can decide, even if their choices are not always correct. A genuine leader will also take responsibility for their decisions and then remedy any decisions that were not correct. The key is not being paralyzed with fear, but being able to move forward even if the path is not clear. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but if we abide in His Word continually, God will provide us with a sound mind so that the majority of the decisions that we do make will be wise decisions. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%202%3A24&version=NLT (Ecclesiastes 2:24) So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God.
