• what's your favorite quote?

A few freinds emailed favorite quotes in reponse to my last blog post (below), but I need MORE, a lot more.

We all have several we like, I know, but is there one that you use a lot?   

Fountain-penWhat is it? Who said it? (And if you know the context or the story behind the quote, do tell!) **

One of my favorite quotes—and it will be in my new book, *HATCH!, when it comes out in a few weeks—is from Gen. Eric Shinseki, Former Chief of staff of the United States Army.

"If you don’t like change you’re going to like irrelevance even less."

"Gen, Rick" was talking about the need to be constantly updating training, equipment, tactics, etc. I think he's right for just about all areas of life. That's why I wrote HATCH! (More on that here at Tea blog when the book comes out.)

* For updates on the progress of HATCH! and announcements for when we will begin taking online orders, check Facebook/Hatch-by-McNair-Wilson ...HERE.

**Post one of your favorite quotes in the comment section below. (Who knows, it may show up in one of my next books: HATCH! is the first in a three book series.)

Tea Ingredients:

  • MAD TEA PARTY
    As a freelance stage director and Artist-in-Residence I have had two stints at Huntington University (Indiana.) Our playful production of ALICE IN WONDERLAND had an inventive cast including (L - R photo above, left): Kylie Edmonds as Doormouse; Mr. Jeffrey Blossom as March Hair; McNair Wilson, Director; Lauralee Brautigam as Alice; and the indefatigable Daniel Neil Olson as a very Mad Hatter. (Photo by Mr. Mike Burnett.) I love directing for the stage–call me, TODAY!
