Advise that launched the 'Intel Inside' brand

This advise is too precious to remain buried in a tome.

Just a small preface: This advise came from Professor Henry Reiling of Harward Business School. This piece of advise led Dennis Carter to join Intel. Dennis Carter is primarily responsible for the 'Intel Inside' brand.

When you look for your first job find a job where nobody knows exactly what you're supposed to be doing. If they don't know what you're supposed to be doing, they won't know what you are not supposed to be doing. As a result, you can do anything you want, and you can take risks.

Words of Wisdom from Wall Street

Why do the MBA's command such high salaries. I believe the pick of the pick are the financial chaps. I wonder what explanation would they come up with to explain the Wall Street meltdown, in layman's language, I mean.

Anyway, sample this:

"It seems perfectly clear leverage is going down, that banks will be more careful who they do business with, and that there is a desire to be more of an agent that a principal."

And this:

"There will be a trend toward specialization. It's hard to be in too many places. Firms will concentrate on their strengths."

And this:

"There is a new way coming, but the old way is gone. I think the old model have been destroyed, or at least cyclically challenged. We'll have to figure out when the dust settles."

Does anyone know what new words of wisdom are being offered?
