“She and Bub went to live with Pop in that crowded, musty flat on Seventh Avenue. She hunted for a job with a grim persistence that was finally rewarded, for two weeks later she went to work as a hand presser in a steam laundry. It was hot. The steam was unbearable. But she forced herself to go to night school—studying shorthand and typing and filing. Every time it seemed as though she couldn't possibly summon the energy to go on with the course, she would remind herself of all the people who had got somewhere in spite of the odds against them. She would think of the Chandlers and their young friends—'It's the richest damn country in the world.' Mrs. Chandler wrote her a long letter and Jim forwarded it to her from Jamaica. 'Lutie dear: We haven't had a decent thing to eat since you left. And Little Henry misses you so much he's almost sick—' She didn't answer it. She had more problems than Mrs. Chandler and Little Henry had and they could always find somebody to solve theirs if they paid enough.” WealthPovertyInequalityAmerican DreamAfrican AmericansBlacksWorkingStudyingInequityGetting Ahead Book:The Street Source: The Street

“Our faces portray the emotions our colleagues and bosses expect. We gladly show those that earn points and brilliantly hide those that do not. Nothing is real about it; it's business and we're supposed to feel okay about it for at least 60 hours per week. If you're lucky, you get used to it. You become highly-skilled at it until you're an invincible corporate giant -- king of a mountain that means very little in the end.” LeadershipCreativityCareerCorporate CultureBoardroomMeetingCorporate AmericaCorporate LadderGetting Ahead Book:Centerpieces Source: Centerpieces
