“I was 12 when I ordered my first guitar out of the worn and discolored pages of the Sears and Roebuck catalog. The story that I bought it on the installment plan is untrue, the invention of a Hollywood press agent. Local color. I paid cash, $8, money I had saved as a hired hand on my uncle Calvin's farm, baling and stacking hay. Prairie hay, used as feed for the cattle in winter. It was mean work for a wiry boy, but ambition made me strong.” FirstsMeanMadeStoriesHandsUsedStrongBoysPlansColorAmbitionPagesHollywoodPaidPressesGuitarWinterSavedInventionLocalsAgentsFarmsCashWornUnclesCattleUntruePrairieHaySearsStacking Author:Gene Autry

“In a typical 401k plan, when you first become eligible you get a big pile of forms and you're told, fill out these forms if you want to join. Tell us how much amount you've saved and how you want to invest the money. In, under automatic enrollment you get that same pile of forms but the top page says, if you don't fill out these forms, we're going to enroll you anyway and we're going to enroll you at this saving rate and in these investments.” IfsWantFirstsBigsFormPlansAmountPagesInvestmentRateSavedSavingTypicalEnrollment Author:Richard Thaler
“The business plan should address: "How will I get customers? How will I market the product or service? Who will I target?" The principles of a business plan are pretty much the same. But after page one to two, everything is unpredictable, because costs or competition will change and you don't know how things will be received by the market. You have to be able to continually adapt. Companies that fail to adapt will die. Others are brilliant at adapting.” KnowsShouldTwoAbleDiesCompanyPrinciplesKnow HowPlansFailingProductsCostPagesCompetitionCustomersBrilliantAddressesTargetUnpredictableAdaptingBusiness Plan Author:Cameron Johnson

“I carry around a notebook that is equal parts day planner and journal. Every morning, I check to see what the agenda for the day is, and if there isn't a plan, I make one. I strive to fill the rest of the page with miscellaneous thoughts and ideas and go back through and fill sparse pages as well. If I start skipping days, I know I'm off course and need to take a step back and ground my life.” IfsKnowsNeedsWellsIdeasCoursesStepsMorningPlansEqualPagesStriveChecksAgendasEvery MorningJournalNotebookMiscellaneousPlannersThoughts And Ideas Author:Kit Williamson

“Edward and I had not had a last grand scene of farewell, nor did I plan one. To speak the word was to make it final. It would be the same as typing the words The End on the last page of a manuscript. So we did not say our goodbyes, and we stayed very close to each other, always touching. Whatever end found us, it would not find us separated.” EndsWould BeLastsFoundSpeakPlansScenePagesFinalsGoodbyeTouchingFarewellManuscriptsTyping Book:Breaking Dawn: Twilight Source: Breaking Dawn: Twilight
