Viet Thanh Nguyen
“This feat I also had no idea how to accomplish, but ignorance had never stopped me from taking action before.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simon Sinek
“The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.”
Simon Sinek, Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't

“Music, such music, is a sufficient gift. Why ask for happiness; why hope not to grieve? It is enough, it is to be blessed enough, to live from day to day and to hear such music-not too much, or the soul could not sustain it-from time to time.”
Vikram Seth, An Equal Music

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“What am I dying for? he cried back. I'm dying because this world I'm living in isn't worth dying for! If something is worth dying for, then you've got a reason to live.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen
