“Many are the lives of men unwritten, which have nevertheless as powerfully influenced civilization and progress as the more fortunate Great whose names are recorded in biography. Even the humblest person, who sets before his fellows an example of industry, sobriety, and upright honesty of purpose in life, has a present as well as a future influence upon the well-being of his country; for his life and character pass unconsciously into the lives of others, and propagate good example for all time to come.” MenWellsPersonsCountryCharacterPurposeNamesProgressInfluenceHonestyExampleIndustryCivilizationFellowsAll TimeWell BeingFortunatePurpose Of LifeNeverthelessBiographiesSobrietyLives Of OthersGood ExamplesUnwritten Book:Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct Source: Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct
“In the 1990's, a time of corporate capital's global ascendancy, the mildest restraints on its prerogatives have been peremptorily rejected.

“I think where it's going is toward what the music industry is like, where channels will be considered more like labels that carry the type of TV show that you like, and then you'll consume them however you can.

“American girls are much more financially savvy - for example, if a girl went to Paris and she was going to do a fragrance campaign, she would say she wouldn't do it for less than half-a-million dollars. Whereas a girl from the Czech Republic would do it for $100,000. I think that's a really big imbalance that created the demise of the modeling industry - and it also created a gap in giving girls an opportunity to become or gain super-status.” IfsThinkingGivingBigsGirlOpportunityHalfMillionsExampleIndustryGainsDollarsCampaignsParisGapsRepublicFragranceModelingMillion DollarsDemiseImbalanceSavvyCzechCzech RepublicModeling Industry Author:Michael Flutie
