Women on the way up generally fail to win popularity contests. The only compensation is that once you're there you will become very well liked.

Always hire people who are better than you. Hiring dummies is shortsighted. You can't move up the ladder until everyone is comfortable with your replacement.

Briefcases, like CEOs, should never look new and unused.

Men are taught to apologise for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.

Love is a great glue, but there is no cement like mutual hate.

Carelessness with details sinks more careers than anyone will admit.
taken appreciate feelings
... letters freeze time for us, eternalizing shared experiences so we can go back and draw strength from them. Letters are like deposits in a secret bank that can be withdrawn when they are needed. And as we look back in love, we appreciate anew the thought and time that was taken to express those feelings.
