Self-control!

"Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself."

Thomas J. Watson - Thomas John Watson was born on February 17, 1874 in Campbell, New York, and died on June 19, 1956; and called that time the world's greatest salesman. His premier formal education was in the Elmira School of Commerce. He began his career in 1892 at the age of 18 as bookkeeper in Clarence Risley's Market in Painted Post. He sold pianos and sewing machines later.

Thomas J. Watson was a salesman in the National Cash Register Company (NCR) and then became general sales manager. The Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) had been founded in 1911 by Herman Hollerith. Watson became president of the company on 1915 and he renamed the company the International Business Machines (IBM) in 1924 to lead the computers and the electronics world. He was chairman of IMB and Columbia University Trustee.

In 1937 he became president of the International Chamber of Commerce. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1990. Many studies and research centers are established after his name. Many awards also are rewarded from his IBM Corporation. Thomas J. Watson handed the IBM corporation to his older son who was called by his father's name before his death. His son Thomas J. Watson Jr. (1914-1993) led the corporation as chairman until he stepped down on 1971.
