Great Quote – Tasks and Power

It is 1:20 AM, Sunday and I am preparing on subject “Project Management and Quality” for a talk I am going to deliver today at 10:30 AM to fellow project managers at Project Management Institute.

Preparing for this exercise pushed me to think beyond the obvious – and I have some fresh insights on issues related to project management and quality assurance. I am looking forward to this event since I will be speaking at a professional forum to a group of experienced and knowledgeable individuals at PMI. Most of my other speaking engagements so far have been with educational institutes and this one’s going to be different.

While going through some of the references, I came across this simple and powerful quote on tasks and power – it was hard to miss this one on the blog. Here it goes –

DON’T PRAY FOR TASK EQUAL TO YOUR POWERS.
PRAY FOR POWERS EQUAL TO YOUR TASKS.

Very inspiring quote to end my week. Have a great weekend!

Update: The talk at PMI was good, well appreciated and satisfying. I spoke without a powerpoint guiding me (or rather limiting my thoughts). Just could not find time to prepare a PPT. But ideas just flowed in, case studies just came naturally and it was smooth. Amazing how one can go on talking about subjects dear to them.
