“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot”

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot” is a motivational saying that has been printed on many images. “You Are the Pilot When Time Flies” was printed in the Tallahassee (FL) Democrat in 1981, and “Time flies…but you’re the pilot” was printed in the Los Angeles (CA) Times in 1986.
   
“The bad news is times flies. The good news is you’re the pilot” was credited to Michael Altshuler in 2002. It’s likely that entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and sales expert Michael Altshuler popularized the saying.
