Jason Brennan
“Tortured writing is easy. Writing that seems effortless takes real skill.”
Jason Brennan, Good Work If You Can Get It: How to Succeed in Academia

Jason Brennan
“Most academics don’t learn how to sell what they do. If you haven’t, I’m not blaming you. You may simply be copying how others in the field write. Most academics are boring, flat writers. To be clear: They succeeded despite their bad writing, not because of it.”
Jason Brennan, Good Work If You Can Get It: How to Succeed in Academia

Jason Brennan
“your teachers and professors were paid to read your work. They generally read all of it. In the real world, though, including academia, people aren’t getting paid to read your work, even when they’re getting paid to read some work. Your research is competing with Game of Thrones, drinking craft beer, playing tennis, taking a nap, prepping classes, chatting with co-workers, revising the reader’s own research, and reading all the other research out there.”
Jason Brennan, Good Work If You Can Get It: How to Succeed in Academia

Jefferson Fisher
“Stop seeing arguments as something to win but as an opportunity to understand the person behind the words. Stop hearing only what’s said and start hearing what’s felt. Build the discipline to connect to the person in front of you.”
Jefferson Fisher, The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More

Frank McCourt
“People everywhere brag and whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty; the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying school masters; the English and the terrible things they did to us for eight hundred long years.

Above all -- we were wet.”
Frank McCourt
