Old College Professor told me this one: "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"

But I have also tried to live by: "If people say 'you can't do it', do it twice. And take pictures"

My college professor was also a wise person and always told me : "Sometimes later becomes never. Do it now."
I don't know if he invented it or not, but this quote always helps me.

That is a good quote - original or not. Profs always seem to be a tad bit wiser than most...

Although, thinking back on the quote my Prof had said to us: "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"... Maybe not the first thing i'd want to hear coming from the professor in a classroom full of students LOL i would HOPE he was the smartest in THAT room anyway 😅

I have a few friends who are professors. I would bet they are the first to tell you they hope at least a few of their students are smarter than them. They might not be as educated yet but may be smarter.

I tend to use this one a lot, and it serves me well in many situations-

Works in my private as well as my professional life.

"What goes around, comes around"

My high school physics teacher's motto. He inspired me to pursue engineering, and I have many reasons to thank him for that.

Always good saying for a boss having a bad day "Heavy is the head that wears the crown". They generally didn't appreciate my insight!!

LOL, I tell my guys that "My job is to get you close". They too hate it when I say that.
