It’s how you deal with it that makes the difference." - Michelle Richmond"Mental energy is the world’s hottest commodity.

If you don't get noticed, you don't have anything. You just have to be noticed, but the art is in getting noticed naturally, without screaming or without tricks. Leo BurnettFindability precedes usability. In the alphabet and on the Web. You can’t use what you can’t find. Peter MorvilleNetworking is simply the cultivating of mutually beneficial, give-and-take, win-win relationships. It works best, however, when emphasizing the "give" part. Bob BurgFormula for success: underpromise and over-deliver. Tom PetersOpportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Thomas A. Edison
