“At Wal-Mart, a co-worker once advised me that, although I had a lot to learn, it was also important not to "know too much," or at least never to reveal one's full abilities to management, because "the more they think you can do, the more they'll use you and abuse you." My mentors in these matters were not lazy; they just understood that there are few or no rewards for heroic performance. The trick lies in figuring out how to budget your energy so there'll be some left over for the next day.” ThinkingKnowsImportantMatterUseLyingNextEnergyLeftCan DoAbilityToo MuchUnderstoodPerformancesAbuseManagementRewardsWorkersTricksBudgetsLazyHeroicMentorNext DayCo Worker Author:Barbara Ehrenreich
“So, The Color Purple changed my life. It changed everything about my life because, in that moment of praying and letting go, I really understood the principle of surrender. The principle of surrender is that, after you have done all that you can do, and you've done your best and given it your all, you then have to release it to whatever you call God, or don't call God.” DoneMomentsGivenCan DoPrinciplesChangedColorPrayingLetting GoUnderstoodSurrenderReleaseThat MomentPurpleChanged My Life Author:Oprah Winfrey
