Quote by Andy Weir

“As coisas não acontecem rápido assim em uma estrela. As mudanças levam milhões de anos, e não uma dezena. Fala sério, você sabe disso. — Não, eu não sei. Eu achava que sabia. Agora, tudo que sei é que o Sol está morrendo — declarou ela. — Eu não sei por que e não sei o que poderíamos fazer a respeito disso. O que eu sei é que o Sol está morrendo.”

Knowing I’d never be invited into smoke-filled rooms or to the golf course, I instead requested individual meetings with political colleagues where I asked questions and learned about their interests, creating a similar sense of camaraderie. In business, I take full advantage of opportunities afforded to minorities but then always offer to share my learning with other groups that have similar needs—expanding the circle rather than closing myself off. Like most who are underestimated, I have learned to over-perform and find soft but key ways to take credit. Because, ultimately, leadership and power require the confidence to effectively wield both.”

“Research shows that where you grew up, where you went to school, and even where you work currently can give you up to a 12 times advantage in gaining access to opportunity.
