JUST PUDGE

Here are some well known and not so well known things that Walt Disney himself said during his lifetime…

• “Whenever I go on a ride, I’m always thinking of what’s wrong with this thing and how can it be improved.”
• “I don’t want the public to see the world they live in while they’re in Disneyland.  I wan them to feel they’re in another world
• “Courage is the main quality of leadership, in my opinion, no matter where it is exercised.  Usually it implies some risk especially in new undertakings.  Courage to initiate something and to keep it going — pioneering and adventurous spirit to blaze new ways, often, in our land of opportunity.”
• “Ideas come from curiosity.  When I settle on idea, my confidence takes command; nothing can shake it, and I am constant to it until it comes  reality.  then I drop it abruptly and I rarely mention it agan.”
• “The secret of juggling many responsibilities is organization.  Key men are responsible to me and constantly in touch with me to see that I’m there at the right time.  These administrators keep things running.”
• “A man should never neglect his family for business”
• “My role?  Well, you know I was stumped one day when a little boy asked, ‘Do you dram Mickey Mouse?’  I had to admit I do not draw anymore. ‘Then you think up all the jokes & ideas?’ ‘No,’ I said, ‘I don’t do that.’  Finaly, he looked at me and said, ‘Mr. Disney, just what do you do?’  ‘Well,” I said, ’sometimes I like to think of myself as a little bee.  I go from one area of the studio to another and gather pollen and sort of stimulate everybody.  I guess that’s the job I do.”
• “I don’t pose as an authority or anything at all, I follow the opinions of the ordinary people I meet and I take prinded in the close-knit teamwork with my organization.”
• “Whatever we accomplish is due to the combined effort…”
• “It’s good to have a failure while you’re young because it teaches you so much.”

Again, just some quotes from Walt…any questions? or thoughts?
