“Emotions are far more contagious than any disease. A smile or a panic will spread through a group of people far faster than any virus ever could. When you walk into the office or a negotiation, then, wash your bad mood away before you see us.

It might spread.” PeopleMightMotivationalWalksEmotionGroupsOfficeDiseaseSpreadMoodFasterPanicSkepticismNegotiationVirusesContagiousBad Mood Author:Seth Godin

“When Clark Gable, MGM's most popular and famous leading man asked for a percentage of the profits from his films, he was flatly refused. A top executive was reported to have said, He's nobody. We took him from nobody. We lavished him with lessons and publicity and now he's the most desired man in the world. Who taught him how to walk? We straightened his teeth and capped them into that smile. We taught this dumb cluck how to depict great emotions, and now he wants a piece of the action? Never!” MenWorldWantSaidActionFilmWalksEmotionPiecesTaughtLessonsProfitTeethDumbExecutivesPercentagesPublicityMgm Author:Jeanine Basinger
