Quote Of The Day Is NOT By Mark Twain

One of the first rules of journalism is to get your facts straight before sitting down to write. Sadly, even the biggest publications fail to do that sometimes.

Sifting through the interwebs to find a new catchy quote for our audience, I came across this inspiring piece of writing that most sites attribute to Mark Twain, the famous 19th century author and humorist.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Everyone is personally responsible with finding that certain something that drives them to get up in the morning and start their day. Some find that impulse in money and fame, while others prefer less materialistic incentives, such as art or gardening.

Cool Summer Internship 2015 Kicks Off

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”

Alan Kay uttered this quote in a fit of passion at a 1971 meeting of PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), and it’s as true today as it was back then.

Here at 4PSA, we strongly agree with this mindset. This is why we make it our business to hire the brightest minds right out of school, nurture them, give them purpose, all while making the world a better place for everyone.

Solutions to most of the world’s biggest problems are well within our reach, yet somehow we don’t seem to be making much progress. Wise minds like Ban Ki-moon see this all too well. And he’s also well positioned to drive some much-needed change.

Born June 13, 1944, Ban Ki-moon is the eighth and current Secretary-General of the United Nations. He suceeds Kofi Annan to the role, and he is a former career diplomat in South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations.

Geeks don’t have a hall of fame like Hollywood stars do, but if they did, Randal Ham would probably top that list. Ham, who is based in Odessa, Texas, unintentionally created Action Figure Work Day when he decided to bring his White Raven action figure to the office one day.
