Comments on: Success according to Harrison Ford http://self-help.thehappyguy.com/2008/11/17/success-according-to-harrison-ford/ Inspirations, quotes, and self-help tips for happiness Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:24:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Betsy Jordan http://self-help.thehappyguy.com/2008/11/17/success-according-to-harrison-ford/#comment-1641 Betsy Jordan Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:01:27 +0000 http://self-help.thehappyguy.com/2008/11/17/success-according-to-harrison-ford/#comment-1641 This quote reminds me of my second "real job" out of college. I was analyzing bank credits for First Union(laterWachovia, now Wells Fargo) and a hotshot credit analyst rising star was teaming up with me. Well, I wanted to cut and paste comments from a previous analysis. He said, "You do what you want. As for me, I'm not putting my name on anything that isn't what I think is going on. It's your name, after all." Once I got over my embarrasment AND my jealousy over this guy's "celebrity", I went on and put my name on my own stuff. I was promoted three times and now am really writing my own stuff. Kudos to Harrison Ford; this is good advice.
