“Yep, Me too,
Guilty as Charged”
Rear Admiral Grace Hopper (1906-1992)
"Humans are allergic to change.
They love to say,
'We've always done it this way.'
I try to fight that.
That's why I have a clock on my wall that
runs counter-clockwise.“
--------------
“The most damaging phrase in the
language is we’ve always done it this way.”
Peter F. Drucker (1909 – 2005)
“If you want something new,
you have to stop doing something old”
