Devin Thorpe thinks he is the luckiest person alive. After being “let go” from the best job he’d ever had—as the Chief Financial Officer of the multinational food and beverage company MonaVie—he and his wife ended up living in China for a year where he wrote Your Mark On The World and embarked on the career he’d always wanted and hadn’t dared dream.
Now, as an author and blogger for Forbes Devin writes about the things that inspire him, mostly stories of people who are making a positive difference in the world and how we can all be more like them. His current life isn’t much like his past. As an entrepreneur, Devin ran—at separate times—a boutique investment banking firm and a small mortgage company. He served as the Treasurer for the multin

Quotes by Devin D. Thorpe  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Money will never buy happiness, but managing your money well can provide the peace of mind that will allow you to focus your family on what matters most.”
Devin D. Thorpe, 925 Ideas to Help You Save Money, Get Out of Debt and Retire a Millionaire So You Can Leave Your Mark on the World!

“The key to motivating your kids to take responsibility for earning their way in the world is to limit the amount of spending money you give them. It isn’t a bad idea to give your kids a modest allowance. It’s best if the allowance is tied to doing chores around the house. Even then, be sure to limit the amount of money you give your kids. The whole idea is to leave the kids wanting more money than you give them so they have the desire to earn some money on their own.”
Devin D. Thorpe, 925 Ideas to Help You Save Money, Get Out of Debt and Retire a Millionaire So You Can Leave Your Mark on the World!

“Play a game. It won’t matter what game you play with your kids, from Xbox to Chutes and Ladders, your kids will cherish their memories of the times their parents played with them. Just listen.”
Devin D. Thorpe, 925 Ideas to Help You Save Money, Get Out of Debt and Retire a Millionaire So You Can Leave Your Mark on the World!

“It's called civilization. Women invented it, and every time you men blow it all to bits, we just invent it again.”
Orson Scott Card, The Folk of the Fringe

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”
Barack Obama
