“That's really what was wonderful for me growing up, since I got to know so many of the songwriters who liked me and thought I had talent.

“Feminism … I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, 'Free to be You and Me.' Free to be, if you were a girl—doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. Anything you want to be. And if you’re a boy, and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, that’s OK too. That notion that we should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriers—manmade barriers, certainly not heaven sent.” IfsThinkingWantShouldMayIdeasSongGirlHeavenBoysFeminismTeachingTalentDoctorsNotionLawyerChiefsIndianExplanationBarriersCaptureBe YouArtificialSimplestNursingDollsHeaven SentIndian Chief Author:Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“There are a few investment managers, of course, who are very good - though in the short run, it's difficult to determine whether a great record is due to luck or talent. Most advisors, however, are far better at generating high fees than they are at generating high returns. In truth, their core competence is salesmanship. Rather than listen to their siren songs, investors - large and small - should instead read Jack Bogle's The Little Book of Common Sense Investing.” ShouldLittlesBookRunningSongCoursesDifficultCommonRecordsTalentReturnLuckInvestmentInvestingVery GoodDetermineDuesCoreCommon SenseManagersInvestorsCompetenceFeesSirensAdvisorsSalesmanshipSiren Song Author:Warren Buffett
