Selected Thoughts of Atilla the Hun
Written reports have purpose only if read by the king.
A wise chieftan never kills the Hun bearing bad news. Rather, the wise chieftan kills the Hun
who fails to deliver bad news.
Great chieftains never take themselves too seriously.
A Hun can achieve anything for which he is willing to pay the price.
Every decision involves some risk.
A wise chieftan gives tough assignments to Huns who can rise to the challenge.
When in a political war, a Hun must always keep an eye to the rear.
Huns only make enemies on purpose.
Critical to a Hun's success is a clear understanding of what the King wants.
Never appoint acting chieftans.
Appoint the most capable Hun, give him both responsibility and authority, then hold him accountable.
A Hun's perception is reality for him.
Huns who appear to be busy are not always working.
Every Hun has value -- even if only to serve as a bad example.
It is best for your friends and foes to speak well of you; however, it is better for them to speak poorly
of you than not at all.
When nothing can be said of a Hun, he has probably accomplished nothing very well.
Contrary to what most chieftans think, you are not remembered by what you did in the past, but by what most
Huns think you did.
Every Hun is responsible for shaping his life circumstances and experiences into success --
no other Hun, and certainly no Roman, can do for a Hun what he neglects to do for himself.
Some Huns have solutions for which there are no problems.
Suffer long for mediocre but loyal Huns. Suffer not for competent but disloyal Huns.
