19 Things You Didn’t Know about Star Wars

The Most Memorable CEO Quotes

Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo

“I always did something that I was a little not ready to do. I think that, that is how you grow. When there’s a moment of ‘Wow, I’m not so sure that I can do this, and you push through those moments, it’s then that you have a breakthrough. Sometimes that’s a sign that something really great is about to happen. You’re about to grow and learn a lot more about yourself.” 

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

“The question I ask myself like almost every day is, ‘Am I doing the most important thing I could be doing?’… Unless I feel like I’m working on the most important problem that I can help with, then I’m not going to feel good about how I’m spending my time. And that’s what this company is.” 

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple

“Life is fragile. We’re not guaranteed a tomorrow so give it everything you’ve got.” 

Michael Dell, CEO of Dell

“You don’t need to be a genius or a visionary, or even a college graduate for that matter, to be successful. You just need framework and a dream.” 

Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon

“In business, what’s dangerous is not to evolve.” 

Robert Iger, CEO of Walt Disney

“The heart and soul of a company is creativity and innovation.” 

Frederick W. Smith, CEO of Fedex

“Leaders get out in front and stay there by raising the standards by which they judge themselves – and by which they are willing to be judged.” 

Larry Page, CEO of Google

“If you’re changing the world, you’re working on important things. You’re excited to get up in the morning.” 

Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft

Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle

“When you innovate, you must prepare yourself for everybody to tell you that you’re nuts.” 

Steve Case, CEO of America Online

“It’s not about how to get started; it’s about how to get noticed.” 

Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks

“In this ever-changing society, the most powerful and enduring brands are built from the heart. They are real and sustainable. Their foundations are stronger because they are built with the strength of the human spirit, not an ad campaign. The companies that are lasting are those that are authentic.”

Pete Cashmore, CEO of Mashable

“We’re living at a time when attention is the new currency: With hundreds of TV channels, billions of Web sites, podcasts, radio shows, music downloads and social networking, our attention is more fragmented than ever before. Those who insert themselves into as many channels as possible look set to capture the most value. They’ll be the richest, the most successful, the most connected, capable and influential among us. We’re all publishers now, and the more we publish, the more valuable connections we’ll make. Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Foursquare, Fitbit and the SenseCam give us a simple choice: participate or fade into a lonely obscurity.”

Jim Skinner, CEO of McDonald’s

“We will continue to build on our momentum in this important area of the world…through improved communication of our product quality, brand relevance and commitment to balanced, active lifestyles.”

Samuel J. Palmisano, CEO of IBM

“Smarter is always the answer.”

 

Have you ever built an “ARK”? An Act of Random Kindness

We are living in a pitiful world. Poverty, hunger, spread of diseases, terrorism, and rumors of war are what we are facing right now. There are many people who experiences poverty, especially those people in the third-world countries. You know, poverty leads to hunger and hunger leads to spread of diseases. In another part, terrorism leads to war. Now you’re thinking or maybe you’re asking. What is the connection of this to my title? Keep on reading! But if you want to go and felt bored about this, you are free to leave.

To continue, because of the problem that the world has, we feel less secure, and we keep on thinking that there are no good people left. You may think that maybe yes, there are still good people but I’m sure you’ll say that they are hard to find. But you know what? A person can find kindness to people if you just simply look at them hard enough. For me, there is no such a thing as bad people. Everyone has kindness inside them.

Well, if you think all the people around you are bad and have been corrupted by evil, why don’t you change your mindset? Why not try to look for their good side instead of their bad side? Or maybe just start with yourself. Try showing kindness to anyone by simply helping others. Like maybe, if you see an old lady crossing the street, why not try to help her? Or just simply smile to a stranger. You see my point? If we keep doing this maybe we as an individual can leave an impact to a certain person. With a simple gesture and a simple act of kindness, we can change the world. You’ll never know that maybe you have been the reason why this we call pitiful world has been a beautiful world.

As I end this article, I want you guys to watch these two inspiring films. I hope you’ll be inspired too.

This short video is about a guy who helped a thief, see what happens next.

The next video is about a guy who has been kind to others, be inspired with his story.

Have you been inspired by these videos? There are still people like this and this could be you. Again, before I end this, I would like to ask you. Have you ever built an ARK?

How to stop smoking and do something else with your hands

I’m trying to quit smoking but I can’t. It’s hard. I am a writer and being a writer is stressful. But your article is inspiring! 🙂 I’ll really try to quit!

burns the fire

I drop to my knees, ejaculating on the planks of my fortune, and exhale. I am breathing again, alive, electrified roots singing, man, singing, man, sweet angel of merciless shock, singing, this is better than anything, singing take everything, everything I have, everything I am, just do not touch this moment of bliss.

I was in my early twenties, a blooming writer with an oral fixation. After sexing up the page with a literary ode to the nicotine fix coupled with the rigours of a coughing fit, it hit me that it was time for me to get smart, off my knees, and while still young, my fellow smokers, try to quit.

Later that evening, I was deep-throating a Gauloise in the park, contemplating the masterpiece I had yet to write, when my pal Mark told me he’d jump naked into the freezing fountain if I would dump my snotty French cigs forever, that…

Am I Too Young To Be So Bitter?

Great article! Reminds me of the days when I was looking for a job after my college graduation. Kudos!

Am I Thirty Yet

A few weeks ago I went to my friend’s graduation. I’m one of those people who tends to cry at everything. I can’t even watch 95% of the commercials they air these days without a box of tissues on hand. So I warned my friend that I’m probably going to tear up at some point during the ceremony. Graduations can be an emotional thing and I just knew one of those speeches was going to get to me.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. Sadness was the last thing on my mind. If I was going to tear up, it would have been from laughing so hard. I laughed at most of the speeches. It was either I laugh or scream with rage. Anger. That’s the emotion I felt the most during the graduation ceremony.

I graduated from college over four years ago. I owe a ton of money from student loans…
