Any consideration of the life and larger social existence of the modern corporate man begins and also largely ends with the effect of one all-embracing force. That is organization -- the highly structured assemblage of men, and now some women, of which he is a part. It is to this, at the expense of family, friends, sex, recreation and sometimes health and effective control of alcoholic intake, that he is expected to devote his energies.

John Kenneth Galbraith

We learn by teaching.

Proverb

More than anything else, I believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny.

Anthony Robbins
