Michael Josephson Commentary

Michael Josephson Commentary: "Long ago, Samuel Johnson said, “Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, but knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.” Warren Buffet updated that notion: “In looking for people to hire, look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. But if they don’t have the first, the other two will kill you.”"

Michael Josephson Commentary: Slow Dance 567.4

Michael Josephson Commentary: Slow Dance 567.4: "David L. Weatherford's poem 'Slow Dance' sends the message in a particularly compelling way:

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
Or listened to rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun fading into the night?
You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
Time is short, the music won't last."

"I've learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes."
—Andy Rooney
