“Influential people are never satisfied with the status quo.  They’re the ones who constantly ask, ‘What if?’ and ‘Why not?’  They’re not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom, and they don’t disrupt things for the sake of being disruptive; they do it to make things better.” Travis Bradberry

“If I’m pushed, I’d also have to admit I don’t like people with allergies.  They just annoy me.  There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. ‘No thanks, I’m allergic.’ Why not just say ‘No thanks’?  I wasn’t asking for your medical history, I was just passing around the nuts.  Trying to be friendly, that’s all.” Jack Dee

“Instead of asking ‘How much damage will the work in question bring about?’ why not ask  ‘How much good?  How much joy?””
Henry Miller
