7. What is up with the motivational photo attached to his email?
- While living in New York City in my 30's I learned this saying right away from some very successful co-workers coaching me along in my career on the NYSE.
"The Early Train Is Never Late"
This saying can be used to represent a certain type of person or situation. For example, an early person or an early start to a project might be seen as being dependable and reliable, while a later start could be considered prone to delays.
Always learning. Keep up the good work.
~ Coach Tripp
