“My first job was in sixth grade, sweeping the clay tennis courts at the yacht club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent. But I don't really have any concept of how money works. I don't know how much things cost. Like a BMW. Or a quart of milk. It's embarrassing.” KnowsFirstsJobsHouseMy OwnPayKnow HowCostMembersConceptsCourtClubsTennisGradesMilkEmbarrassingClaySweepingYachtSixth GradeBmwTennis Courts Author:Chloe Sevigny

It is sick when it is more concerned with avoiding mistakes than with taking risks, with counteracting the weaknesses of its members than with building on their strength. But it is sick also when "good human relations" become more important than performance and achievement.” PeopleHumansImportantJobsMistakeRiskBuildingMembersAchievementWeaknessConcernedPerformancesOrganizationSickRelationListsAccomplishmentAvoidingPromotionHuman RelationsTaking Risks Author:Peter Drucker
“To be a housewife is to be a member of a very peculiar occupation, one with characteristics like no other. The nature of the duties to be performed, the method of payment, the form of supervision, the tenure system, the market in which the workers find jobs, and the physical hazzards are all very different from the way things are in other occupations.” WayDifferentJobsFormDutyMembersMethodWorkersCharacteristicsOccupationPeculiarPaymentHousewifeTenureSupervision Author:Barbara Bergmann
“I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth - at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation.” WorldMayMeanDoeRealityEarthJobsFacesSufferingNationsCommunityPayEconomyEnvironmentFateGenerationsDangerHigherMembersAccountsProfoundClimateClimate ChangeHeavyProducersConsumersGlobal WarmingInvestorsOur EnvironmentDinosaursNew GenerationTollsBetter JobsAdjusting Author:Eileen Claussen
