Lou Holland's Golden Rules for Successful Investing
“Be a contrary investor or thinker—don't follow the herd over the cliff. Focus on companies with great management; buy companies with superior products. Use common sense. If you can't understand it, don't do it. Be patient.”
Paul Collins on Managing Your Career
“A lot of people talk about managing your career. The best way to manage your career is by performing your job very, very well. If you do that, you end up with a strong career. You attract attention based on the way you perform your job. People will gravitate toward you.”
