“I remember when being a 'a company man' was a badge of honor; today in Silicon Valley it may brand you a loser or, in the best case scenario, someone afraid to take risks. Ten years ago, if you saw a resume that had multiple jobs in ten years, you would be worried about the capability of the individual. Not so now.” IfsMenYearsMayWould BeTodayJobsRememberIndividualCompanyCasesSawsRiskHonorTenYears AgoBrandsWorriedLoserValleysCapabilityMultipleRemember WhenScenariosResumesBadgesSiliconSilicon ValleyMultiple Jobs Author:Maynard Webb
“Roll rocks down a ten-thousand-foot mountain, and they cannot be stopped - this is because of the mountain, not the rocks.

“Nevertheless, hateful as saying 'No' always is to an imaginative person, and certain as the offence may be that it will cause to individuals whose own work does not require isolated effort, the writer who is engaged on a book must learn to say it. He must say it consistently to all interrupters; to the numerous callers and correspondents who want him to speak, open bazaars, see them for 'only' ten minutes, attend literary parties, put people up, or read, correct and find publishers for semi-literate manuscripts by his personal friends.” PeopleWantMayPersonsDoeBookCertainIndividualSpeakCausesPartyEffortMinutesTenEngagedIsolatedConsistentlyNeverthelessPublishersImaginativeHatefulSaying NoManuscriptsWant HimOffenceInterruptionsBazaars Author:Vera Brittain
“Of publishing a book on religion, my dear sir, I never had an idea. I should as soon think of writing for the reformation of Bedlam, as of the world of religious sects.
