Business Advice Via Winnie the Pooh

I came across a couple of quotes recently and it struck me that they were not only good advice for children, but also sage advice for mommies in the workforce.

Thought I would share:

“PWinnie the Poohromise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” – Christopher Robin to Pooh

“You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” - Winnie the Pooh

“If the person you are talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.” – Winnie the Pooh

Truer words were never spoken, huh?  This mommy is going to try to remember them when she has a bad day.

  1. These are all such great quotes. I guess it’s true that everything we ever needed to know we learned in kindergarten ;-)

    I have a HUGE framed picture box on the wall with those words and a picture of the boys in the middle. My fav.
