"Fear drives you and makes you better."

--

Donna Shalala

“Sometimes I just wish I had a day off. I really need to clean my room.”
“I'm always tweaking, always trying to make it better, constantly moving the levers and dials.”
“I'd walked too close to heaven and gotten a glimpse. The hell I'd lived before her no longer appealed to me.”
“Science rejects the indeterminate.”
“When a concept has been understood intellectually, if the learning is to be of value then a connection with personal feelings, inner knowing and experience has to be made, and consideration of how the information would best be applied.”
“Business is a game, played for fantastic stakes, and you're in competition with experts. If you want to win, you have to learn to be a master of the game.”
“The best thing about the past is that it's over. The best thing about the future is that it's yet to come. The best thing about the present is that it's here now.”
“I used to be a pre-industrial writer: thousands of words in a spurt and then a few days off. But as I get older, I've switched to a mode best described as 'slow and steady wins the race.' Basically, I write during the same four hours every day, after breakfast and the all-important coffee, generally in the same room and wearing the same pajamas.”
