Asian - Words of Wisdom

This is a book of quotations from some of Asia's leading thinkers. Some of the quotations are from current Asian leaders, of countries and of leading corporations, while the others are from leaders who have since passed on. And they include historical names such as Confucious, Lao Tze, Buddha, Mahatma Ghandi, Kahlil Gilbran and Mencius. There are also proverbs from Asian countries. From Malaysia you will find quotations from Dr Mahathir and Rafidah Aziz.

The quotations are divided into categories such as leadership, marketing, personal development, customer service and continuous learning.

I cannot deny that I am sometimes motivated by some excellent and apt quotations. And this is one book on quotations that I am really fond of.

Here are some extracts:

"A bird does not sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song." - Chinese Proverb

"In case of rain, protect your customers with your umbrellas and walk them to their cars." - Toyota Sales Manual

"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher." - the Dalai Lama

There is always an occasion when an apt quotation be an impactful tool to bring a point across.
