AQuote

Sam, a close friend of mine, and I were having dinner last weekand I told him that I had given someone a copy of the DailyDrucker, a compilation of 365 insightful and important perspectivesof one of the greatest business minds of our time, Peter Drucker.Unbeknownst to me, Sam was a teaching assistant to Drucker for anumber of years and recounted for me that one day he (Sam) wasfretting over a problem of the day, and Peter put his hand on hisshoulder and said, “Do not dissipate your energy making yesterdaygo a little bit longer”. Classic Drucker, and it’s not recordedanywhere but here. What’s the point? My interpretation is that thegreat recession is over, so start focusing on tomorrow. ThanksSam.
