I was bouncing around the web the other day and stumbled across this great list from the CEO of Quicken LoansFatHead and owner of the Cleveland CavaliersDan Gilbert. Great advice from a very wise (and wealthy) man.

#21 The difference between poison and medicine is the dose.

#20 Spreadsheets measure. They do NOT create.
