It’s as if they live in Opposite Land. If their service is wretched, they tell people that they are great at service. If they are selling a mediocre car, they expound on its hip sportiness. Claiming that you are what you are not will obscure the strengths you do have while destroying your credibility. It’s a lose-lose proposition. In order to hunt down and accurately tag authenticity, we must first pop the balloon of self-delusion.”

“Too many companies these days can't tell the difference between good profits and bad.... By now you're probably wondering how in heaven's name profit, that holy grail of the business enterprise, can ever be bad. Short of outright fraud, isn't one dollar of earnings as good as another?

They're profits earned at the expense of customer relationships.”

“Too many dangerous emotions swirled around her. She felt disgust with herself for wanting him so desperately. She tried to stop the aching need that spread through her body. It was her mission to protect people from Followers. From Stanton. She couldn't allow herself to like him.
She stopped abruptly and looked up at him.
"You can't fight it," Stanton said.
Did he too think she would betray her destiny? How could she trust him? In the past he had deceived and betrayed Vanessa.
Stanton looked at her and she knew he was reading her distrust.
"I appreciated the kindness Vanessa showed me, but I never felt the connection with her that I feel with you. I've liked you since the first time our minds met in combat. I've more than liked you, Serena." His hand touched her cheek.
She remembered that battle. How strange it had been. She had suspected even then that he had been teasing and playful, not really trying to destroy her.
She shook her head.
"I'm telling you the truth," he insisted.
She felt hot tears gather in her eyes. He was telling the truth. But their kind of relationship would always be forbidden.

Don't label your character flaws as noble sacrifices.”

“Too many dogs continue to be abused and abandond - one is too many - and people continue to kill people for money and envy and no reason at all.
