The
Peter Principle is one of the oldest books we have on our bookshelf. It
was published last 1978 and Peter and I can't remember exactly if the
copy we have brought to our home is mine or his since both his folks and
my grandpa owned one when we were little. The pages are brittle and
brown with age but the words of wisdom inside transcend time and space.
After all, it discusses PRINCIPLES. From the moment I read its reviews, I
got so hooked that in a matter of 24 hours, I was able to finish it in

Habit which is taking me forever to finish, Dr. Peter's style of writing
is direct, factual, and straight to the point. I can actually relate
(both directly and indirectly) with everything that he's written. Here
are a couple of lines that struck me the most:
