Business and growing jobs is about taking risk sometimes failing sometimes succeeding but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world.

The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.

Happiness and virtue rest upon each other the best are not only the happiest but the happiest are usually the best.

What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.

The game of history is usually played by the best and the worst over the heads of the majority in the middle.
