“Artists, writers and people in creative fields are entrepreneurs by necessity. Nobody gives them a paycheck or picks up their medical insurance. The ones who succeed learn to think and act like 'independent operators.' I think people who are technically 'employees' have to think this way as well. The company is not looking out for you.” PeopleThinkingWayGivingWellsArtistCompanyCreativeFieldsSucceedPicksIndependentEntrepreneurMedicalEmployeePaychecksOperatorsMedical Insurance Author:Steven Pressfield
“I know the difference between venture capital[ism] and vulture capitalism. Venture capitalism is a good thing, comes in, gives that gap funding to help these companies get off and get started creating jobs, and work. But Mitt Romney and Bain Capital were involved with what I call vulture capitalism. And they walked into Gaffney and took over that photo album company for no other reason than to basically pick the bones clean. And those people lost their jobs.” PeopleKnowsGivingReasonHelpingJobsLostDifferencesCompanyInvolvedRepublicanCreatingPicksCapitalismGood ThingsCleanAlbumsBonesGapsVentureRomneyFundingIsmsVultureVenture CapitalCreating Jobs Author:Rick Perry
“A very wise dog woman once told me that dogs find owners, not the other way around. They pick you and they choose to stay with you. In that way, they are also giving you the end of their life.

I know I'd rather have any amount of time with a dog I love and suffer the mourning than not have the time at all.” KnowsWayGivingEndsSufferingWiseDogAmountPicksHarderDeeperMourningOwnersByeGood ByeSaying Good ByeVery Wise Book:You Had Me at Woof: How Dogs Taught Me the Secrets of Happiness Source: You Had Me at Woof: How Dogs Taught Me the Secrets of Happiness

“I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it. I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others.
