"Do not walk in blind into a new job. Ask around and find the real trade-offs.
Abusive boss? Toxic culture? Failing business? Know if you can handle it."

"If you are not curious, you do not grow much with experience.
If you are curious, you grow your skills every year.
If you get into a structured learning process, you grow your skills every month."

"The market pays you for your strengths.
A school lets you graduate if you overcome your weakness.
Always invest in your strengths except where a weakness will not let you graduate."
2 Life Quotes from Books
I.
Best selling author and speaker Darren Hardy, says that correct choices and consistency leads to massive results, in his book - The Compound Effect -
- It's not the big things that add up in the end; it's the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary.
- In essence, you make your choices, and then your choices make you.
- The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices."
II.
Bob Burg and John Mann, talk about authenticity as the key to sales and success, in their book - The Go-Giver :
"As long as you’re trying to be someone else, or putting on some act or behavior someone else taught you, you have no possibility of truly reaching people.
The most valuable thing you have to give people is yourself. No matter what you think you’re selling, what you’re really offering is you."
