“Indeed, being a beginner is very difficult right now. Book publishers are in a crisis, sales are dwindling, and publishing houses are losing money, doing their best to survive. It's a sign of the times, the emergence of new kinds of entertainment -- there's nothing we can do about it. I don't think books will perish for good. They could become less widespread, though, falling even further behind movies and computer games. But we shouldn't be afraid of this, because books will always remain the entertainment of choice for intelligent people, of whom there are still many in this world.” PeopleThinkingWorldKindStillsBookChoicesFallGamesHouseDifficultCan DoBehindsThis WorldRight NowComputerLosingIntelligentCrisisEntertainmentPublishingPublishersEmergenceBeginnersComputer GamesLosing MoneyPublishing House Author:Sergei Lukyanenko

“There are a lot of little tricks you can do to inject a bit more time into the day. Most important is limiting yourself to a 40 hour week, not working 50 hours or 60 or 70. It's just crazy. It's actually irresponsible to you and irresponsible to your family and friends. Why should your employer's profits be more important than your own family? You're not even going to get any of the profits - all you get is not losing your job. It's a very negative system.” ShouldLittlesImportantJobsBitsCan DoHoursWeekCrazyLosingNegativeProfitTricksOur FamilyMore TimeFamily And FriendsEmployersIrresponsibleLimiting Yourself Author:Tom Hodgkinson
