4. By
HW Longfellow
The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.

About this author
edit data
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American poet whose works include "Paul Revere's
Ride", The Song of Hiawatha, and "Evangeline". He was also the first American to translate
Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy and was one of the five members of the group known
as the Fireside Poets.
Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine and studied at Bowdoin College. After spending
time in Europe he became a professor at Bowdoin and, later, at Harvard College. His first
major poetry collections were Voices of the Night (1839) and Ballads and Other Poems (1842).
Longfellow retired from teaching in 1854 to focus on his writing, though he lived the
remainder of his life in Cambridge, Massachusetts in a former headquarters of George
Washington.

6. TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!—
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest! 5
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
The Psalm
of Life By HW Longfellow

7. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way; 10
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating 15
Funeral marches to the grave.

8. In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife! 20
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,— act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!

9. Lives of great men all remind us 25
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main, 30
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

10. Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing, 35
Learn to labor and to wait.
HW Longfellow

13. The first rule of any technology
used in a business is that automation
applied to an efficient operation will
magnify the efficiency.
 The second is that automation
applied to an inefficient operation will
magnify the inefficiency.
……. Bill Gates

15. There are 3 main factors creating economies of scale:
1. Specialization:
Large companies are able to breakdown the production into smaller and
separated tasks, employing the resources more efficiently. This efficiency comes
both from the specialized workforce and from the specialized equipment and
manufacturing processes.
2. Bargaining Power:
As organizations grow they gain bargaining power with suppliers. If a certain
company doubles the amount of raw materials it is buying every month it will
very likely be able to negotiate better prices.
3. Indivisibility of Resources:
Some resources are not divisible and can not be purchased or operated under
certain thresholds. Research facilities and advertising campaigns, for instance,
require a minimum size.

• i.e.: strong in moral principles- characteristics
such as sincerity, honesty, &
straightforwardness in your daily living
patterns.

characteristics is the lifeblood of any long-term
success.

put trust in ideas, not
circumstances.
That’s a good way of saying
you need to focus on your
goals, not your problems.
