Every time you say yes to something you donโt want to do, this will happen: you will resent people, you will do a bad job, you will have less energy for the things you were doing a good job on, you will make less money, and yet another small percentage of your life will be used up, burned up, a smoke signal to the future saying, โI did it again.

James AltucherMost people are not good people. In business, in art, in almost every 'world' I've been in, most people I've meet are pretty gray to black. It takes practice to be the person who is a source of compassion and honesty.
James AltucherEvery day you reinvent yourself. Youโre always in motion. But you decide every day: forward or backward.
