“If you write something that gets a bad response, or someone commits candor or is off message, there are often consequences almost immediately when it appears in the paper or a magazine, that somebody gets called into the boss's office. And sometimes it can result in a loss of access for the reporter.” IfsWritingSometimesLossResultsOfficePaperMessagesConsequenceResponseAccessCommitMagazinesBossReportersCandor Author:Ron Suskind
“I often ask myself, 'Who would Jesus vote for?' Then I start to think that he wouldn't vote at all; however, it would not be out of apathy or disinterest, but out of perfection and light.

One, like his skeptics, may find that impractical. But there is a message in that no man in power can slow the momentum of the will of God, and the miracles of his teachings will be forever victorious.” ThinkingMenMayLightAsksJesusForeverInfluenceTeachingModernOfficeMessagesPerfectionVoteMiracleFellowsWorkersPerseveranceGods WillApathyFellow ManMomentumSkepticPower Of GodDisinterestMiracle Worker Author:Criss Jami

“I did something rather innovative that my competitors didn't like: I took out a full-page advertisement in the Yellow Pages that listed an office on the east side of Cincinnati, and another office on the west side, while every other heating/air-conditioning company had only one location and one phone number. I was the citywide company. In fact, our 'westside office' was just an answering service taking telephone message.
