A Little Slice of Life

The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

- Dr. Seuss

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

-

Paulo Coelho

Be polite and generous, but don’t undervalue yourself. You will be useful, at any rate; you may just as well be happy, while you are about it.

- Oliver Wendell Holmes

The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.

- Aristotle Onassis

There is no substitute for hard work, for doing well at the job you’re in. When I made coffee and Xeroxed and distributed newspapers at ABC News, I thought my life was over. But I did it; I didn’t complain. And along the way, I learned a lot, and was ready for the bigger jobs that were around the corner.

- Katie Couric

Don’t borrow to buy a depreciating assets. Almost every consumer product from an iPod to a sofa is worth less the moment you buy it. You are just paying extra for it with a loan. Borrowing, by the way, means taking out a loan, buying it on installment or using your credit card when you don’t have the money to pay off the balance. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.

- Damon Darlin

Never be ashamed to ask for information. The ignorant man will always be ignorant if he hears that by asking he will display ignorance.

- Booker T. Washington

You can do anything you want to do as long as you keep a good attitude and keep working at it. But the second you give up, you’re screwed.

- Dolly Parton

Underpromise and overdeliver.

- Robin Li

Never turn your back on your friend.

- Alfred Hitchcock

Think for yourself and question authority.

- Timothy Leary

If you challenge your own, you won’t be so quick to accept the unchallenged assumptions of others. You’ll be a lot less likely to be caught up in bias or prejudice or be influenced by people who ask you to hand over your brains, your soul, or your money because they have everything all figured out for you.

- Alan Alda

Never be late. When you’re late, what you’re saying is that your time is more important than the other person’s time. That’s pretty egotistical.

- Alice Cooper

If you can’t change your fate, change your attitude.

- Amy Tan

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.

- Oprah Winfrey
