Now I understand some people think wearing a suit provides them with a certain level of stature. It gives them confidence. It helps them feel good about themselves. Well let me be the first to tell you that if you feel like you need a suit to gain that confidence, you got problems. The minute you open your mouth, all those people who might think you have a great suit, forget about the suit and have to deal with the person wearing it. –Mark Cuban
Time off is reserved for those who consider their career as work. –Rolex
The art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably on of the secrets of our great men. –Captain J. A. Hatfield
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. - W. H. Murray
Act without doing; work without effort.
Think of the small as large and the few as many.
Confront the difficulet while it is still easy; accomplish great tasks be a seris of small acts. –Loa-Tze
Desires and attatchemnt are the source of suffering. –Dali Lama
Find people who value you and build from mutual love and respect. Don’t try to force-feed somebody who’s not hungry for the gift that God placed in you. If they can’t see your value, they are not meant for you.
"My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk you'll end up as the pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso." -Pablo Picasso
It felt really strange. Like wearing two left shoes. –Laurie Revnes
“[Work] below your means. If you can handle three elements, handle only two. If you can handle ten, then handle only five. In that way the ones you do handle, you handle with more ease, more mastery, and you create a feeling of strength in reserve.” –Pablo Picasso
Tis true: there's magic in the web of it. –Shakespeare (Othello)
Go where you’re celebrated, not where you’re tolerated.
Recognize toxic relationships and know when to walk away Posted 13 May
A bad relationship creates constant unhealthy disagreement and strife (Amos 3:3). A toxic relationship hides you and holds you to your past. Watch out for predators of the heart. And if you are in a toxic relationship, walk away!
Getting Real is an approach ideally suited to web-based software. The old school model of shipping software in a box and then waiting a year or two to deliver an update is fading away. Unlike installed software, web apps can constantly evolve on a day-to-day basis. Getting Real leverages this advantage for all its worth. –Getting Real (37Signals)
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.
—From "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk Jr.
I discovered that the element of faith, with I endeavored to imitate my idols, gave me great capacity to do so quite successfully. –Napoleon Hill
I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays. -Henny Youngman
Dilbertism: I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.
Give up selfishness. Develop the spirit of sacrifice. Be prepared to sacrifice your life for the sake of Truth and Righteousness. Today people are afraid to follow the path of truth. Why should one be afraid to speak truth? In fact, one should be afraid to utter falsehood. One who adheres to truth is always fearless. When you do not follow the path of truth, the fire of fear will burn you to ashes. Consider love as your life and truth as your breath. –Sai Baba
