Is Your Light Under a Bushel?
Is the world seeing your strongest talents now, or will we have to wait until you are dead to recognize your best work? I know we all want to be part of something that goes beyond our own lives, but it's also reasonable to want to be part of something great today. This is not about being modest; it's about living a double life; one in which your daily work has no connection to your passion. Where you have to hide your true talent in order to "make a living." Do you have a secret talent that you're not sharing?
Live So That You May...
I know I want to live my life in a way that I would want to life the same life all over again. That’s the way ideas get re-circulated. And that reminds me of another great quotation: "There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We just take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn, and they create new and curious combinations. We keep turning making new patterns, but they are the same old pieces of glass that have been in use throughout all the years." --Mark Twain So I’ll probably take Nietzsche’s quotation, refine it a little and make it my own.

Make Cold Calls More Successful- Stop Focusing on the Sale
All the sales gurus have been teaching for years that you must be enthusiastic and aggressive in cold calling tactics.
