Book cover for Anthony Bourdain: The Kindle Singles Interview (Kindle Single)
When it’s a job. You reach this point where you dread foie gras. It’s like, truffles again? You’re the wrong person to be writing about food. It should be a joy. It should be special and exciting. Oh, wow! White truffles!

“It’s usually not enough to point out impending problems/opportunities or even to propose solutions. You may have to garner support for your proposed solution or conduct small pilot tests. All of this involves the need to influence powerful people.”
Allan R. Cohen, Influencing Up

James Allen
“There is no room for a complainer in a universe of law, and worry is soul-suicide. By your very attitude of mind you are strengthening the chains which bind you, and are drawing about you the darkness by which you are enveloped, Alter your outlook upon life, and your outward life will alter.”
James Allen, 20 James Allen Classics: The Master Collection

“In essence, most programming books for beginners teach how to read a program, not how to write one.”
V. Anton Spraul, Think Like a Programmer: An Introduction to Creative Problem Solving

Orison Swett Marden
“The human machine is the only medium by which the soul and the mind connect with the material world, and this marvelous mechanism, this temple Beautiful, should be kept in the superbest condition, for whatever mars it mars the soul's expression. M In our present system of education we are taught nearly everything except the very thing that we ought to know most about—the art of living. The schools and colleges teach scores of things that we never use directly in practical life,”
Orison Swett Marden, The Joys of Living

Héloïse d'Argenteuil
“If the portraits of our absent friends are pleasant to us, which renew our memory of them and relieve our regret for their absence by a false and empty consolation, how much more pleasant are letters which bring us the written characters of the absent friend.”
Héloïse d'Argenteuil, The Letters of Abélard and Héloïse
