Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. - Andy Warhol
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what gets you out of bed in the mornings, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.
Pedro Arrupe
The problem with the internet is that it’s difficult to determine accuracy.
Abe Lincoln

All the horsepower in the world is useless if you can’t figure out how to use it - and look good doing it.
whatever your role is at the company you work for—whether you’re an executive with many reports, or an individual contributor on a team, practicing regular, daily mindfulness and compassion will make you a healthier, more productive person. additionally, the people you work with are going to respond better and do better work. the outcome is going to be a superior product or service, a happier user or client, and in the best case—a positive global impact. - biz stone | via bijan

You have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And they are right too. No, I think there was too rigid a pattern. You came out of an education and are supposed to know your vocation. Your vocation is fixed, and maybe ten years later you find you are not a teacher anymore or you’re not a painter anymore. It may happen. It has happened. I mean Gauguin decided at a certain point he wasn’t a banker anymore; he was a painter. And so he walked away from banking. I think we have a right to change course. But society is the one that keeps demanding that we fit in and not disturb things. They would like you to fit in right away so that things work now.
Don’t ever call a woman a bitch, call her an asshole. You’ll still get your point across, and it’s not sexist.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Logic will get you from A to Z… imagination will get you everywhere.

Nope. Zero,” the president said to the speaker. Mr. Boehner tried again. “Nope. Zero,” Mr. Obama repeated. “John, this is it.” A long silence followed, said one participant in the meeting. “It was just like an awkward, ‘O.K., well, what do you do now?’
