“Life is 10 per cent what happens to you and 90 per cent how you respond to it.”
― Boris Starling, Unconquerable: The Invictus Spirit

“(yes, the bluffer should know that being an online ‘influencer’ is a real job, and that sound you can hear is a legion of long-deceased school careers officers spinning in their graves; no, being an online influencer almost certainly not what Dale Carnegie had in mind when he wrote How To Win Friends and Influence People),”
