What we have is pretty meaningless. It's what we are that counts.
You and I and everyone else have the attention span of gnats. And that means that saying or doing anything once simply doesn't work.
Your date will not be impressed by you throwing up on her brand-new shoes, as you spout poetic babblings that are meaningful only to you.
If you're the greatest, it's okay to say you're the greatest. My suggestion to everybody is to be their own greatest fan. Weaker personas and personalities define that as egotistical or arrogant, but what it means is their self-esteem isn't that strong.
Education, especially business education will only give you tools. What you do with these tools is all that matters. Life and business isn’t paint by numbers. You have to think for yourself. You have to invent yourself. You have an inferred fiduciary mandate to yourself, and that means, it’s your responsibility to learn people skills, and language skills, in order to increase your chances of success. You also have to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right thing. Mostly and invariably, the real product you’re going to be selling is….you.

The notion is that if you want to welcome me with open arms, I'm afraid you're also going to have to welcome me with open legs.
The venue has to know what it's buying.
It's a personal statement that's a sort of personal allegiance to the United States of Indy.
If someone likes you, they'll buy what you're selling, whether or not they need it.
Live and think like a poor man and you'll always be OK.
Music is feeling. You can try to verbalize it. It really just hits you or it doesn't.
