winnie the pooh and friendsToday marks the 90th Anniversary of the beloved Winnie the Pooh books by A.A Milne.

The series provides us with sage advice about all elements of life including business.

We looked at some of the quotes we feel everyone should consider before they go into a project, are struggling through their workload or managing a team.

 

When you’re apprehensive about putting yourself forward in the workplace:

“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” –  Pooh Bear, A.A Milne

 

When you’re struggling to keep the project going:

“Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” – Pooh Bear, A.A. Milne

 

When your team doesn’t seem to be listening:

“If the person you are talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.” Pooh Bear, A.A Milne

 

When you’re unsure of other people’s advice:

“I was just sittin’ here enjoyin’ the company. Plants got a lot to say, if you take the time to listen.” Eeyore, A.A Milne
