alice in wonderland

Well, our hyd chief quit yesterday. There was a town-hall to announce this and it was difficult for him. He had joined as a fresher and had stayed back for 17 years.

I don't attach any significance to this. We have seen bigger people quitting in the last one year. And i don't work under him anyways.

But then i do remember the first time he talked to me. It was our orientation session just after joining. His topic was careers in the organization. And he quoted this :

Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to
Alice: I don't much care where.
The Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
Alice: …so long as I get somewhere.
The Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.

if you are still wondering, thats from "alice in wonderland".
And i think that was a very opt quote.
In-fact the whole book,claimed to be a children's book is full of thought provoking quotes for adults. And IMHO, it is the most ideal book, if you want to story tell a kid, like read five pages out, close it out, and then continue tomorrow - you know, i have been read hardy boys like that.
