Re: For Mentors Only: Inspiring Youth

In the process of trying to inspire youth as well as inspiring fellow mentors, I am reminded of one thing:

In corporate life, it's a careful balancing act:
Product Quality
Product Cost
Product Schedule

You can have supurb-quality products that are "late to market" and cost too much and will FAIL

You can also have products that ship to meet the schedule (e.g. the holiday rush) but that have terrible quality and safety issues.

So, I find inspiration in students and mentors when you can look YOURSELF in the mirror and say "I did it all....quality, cost, and on time"

You have noone to impress but yourself........isn't it called "self-engraciating"?
