Robert Downey Jr: Punk Rock HR Hero

I just read a quote from Robert Downey Jr where he said, “You know, you’re never too old to burn your bridges because I believe I have offended everyone… I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it is my favorite phrase I’ve ever coined.”

I’ve never loved you more, Robert Downey Jr, than when you’re eating Burger King and sticking it to the man. This brilliant advice is appropriate for HR, Corporate America, and life in general. I’m using it.

I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it.

It’s almost as good as the f@$% it, we’ll do it live mantra that I’ve incorporated into my life.
