“First-rate engineers, for instance, tend to take pride in not knowing anything about people. Human beings, they believe, are much too disorderly for the good engineering mind. Human resources professionals, by contrast, often pride themselves on their ignorance of elementary accounting or of quantitative methods altogether. But taking pride in such ignorance is self-defeating. Go to work on acquiring the skills and knowledge you need to fully realize your strengths.”
― Peter F. Drucker, Managing Oneself

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde

“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.”

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
