Spencer Fraseur
“We are all skyscrapers, continually adding rooms and floors to who we are. Once one floor is done, the next begins and the result is a constant work in progress. The best business leaders treat their companies like projects never to be completed, only improved and refined, so why shouldn’t we also treat ourselves as such?”
― Spencer Fraseur, The Irrational Mind: How To Fight Back Against The Hidden Forces That Affect Our Decision Making

“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others”
― Peter Bevelin, All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There
