“The focus should be on becoming a strong andinfluential personality – cultivate compelling communication skills, focus on building trust and learn how to expand and leverage your professional network.”

“+ It’s a small fraction of world population – about 0.000000303 percent – but it seems like plenty to you.+ You begin to complain about all the people you could be meeting. But one one listens or symphathizes with you, because this is what you chose when you where alive.+ You choice to slide down the intelligence ladder is irreversible.+ Sometimes we listen and pay attention to the plot of the dream.

“Sometimes, God doesn’t send you into a battle to win it; he sends you to end it.”

“It’s up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code. Most of these jokers don’t even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we ‘fail’ to see what they are driving at. If indeed they are driving at anything–obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence.”

“The denial of language is a suicidal one and we pay for it with our own lives.”
