“Somewhere in my wildest childhood I must have done something right. Being able to make a boyhood dream come true is one thing, but to have a kid come along and thrill his dad like Brett Hull has thrilled me over his career is too much for one guy to handle.” DoneDreamKidsAbleGuySportsCareersToo MuchOne ThingChildhoodDadHandleThrillDreams Come TrueBoyhoodHull Author:Bobby Hull
“But, as potentially the first African American first lady, I was also the focus of another set of questions and speculations; conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others.

“My first job now is as a mother, everything else is secondary.

“The traditional metaphor for careers is a ladder, but I no longer think that metaphor holds. It just doesn’t make sense in a less hierarchical world... Build your skills, not your resume. Evaluate what you can do, not the title they’re going to give you. Do real work. Take a sales quota, a line role, an ops job. Don’t plan too much, and don’t expect a direct climb. If I had mapped out my career when I was sitting where you are, I would have missed my career.” IfsThinkingWorldGivingRealJobsCan DoLinesCareersRolesToo MuchPlansSkillsSittingDirectMetaphorTraditionalMake SenseTitlesClimbsWhere You AreLaddersEvaluateResumesReal WorkQuota Author:Sheryl Sandberg

“Now I rewrite more and more severely, and I take great pleasure in cutting thousands of words out of first drafts; I think that's a pleasure worth learning as early as possible in one's career, not least because realizing that one can do it helps one relax into writing the first draft in which it's better to have too much material for later shaping than not enough.” ThinkingWritingFirstsEnoughHelpingCan DoRealizingPleasureCareersToo MuchCuttingMaterialsRelax Author:Ramsey Campbell

“You collect art: you must know that the miniature artists, at the end of careers spent painting the tiniest, most exacting details that no one would ever look at, would often put their eyes out with needles. Too much beauty, yes, but also too much seeing. They were tired of seeing. The dark was safe and warm and comfortable. Blindness was a gift.
