Quote by Marty Rubin

One is never wounded by the love one gives, only by the love one expects.

One is never wounded by the love one gives, only by the love

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of selfless love and managing expectations in relationships. It suggests that when one truly gives love without any expectations or conditions, they cannot be hurt or wounded. However, when someone expects certain things from love, such as reciprocation or specific outcomes, it opens the door for disappointment and potential emotional pain. By focusing on giving love freely, without expecting anything in return, one can avoid unnecessary emotional turmoil and cultivate a more fulfilling and harmonious connection with others.

Successful Project Management: PLAN, EXECUTE, EVALUATE Sound

Successful Project Management: PLAN, EXECUTE, EVALUATE Sounds simple, but most projects aren't well planned nor are they evaluated well. The tendency is to jump right into execution and as soon as execution is completed (which usually isn't soon), move on to the next project without evaluating what happen on the present project and what could have been improved. Successful project management requires more front and back end resources (and less middle) than are usually allocated.
