As we keep or break the Sabbath Day we nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope by which man rises.
I usually tell people that everything I learned about being an entrepreneur I learned by f'ing up at my first company.
Being an entrepreneur is sexy. . . for those who haven't done it. In reality it's gritty, tough work where you will be filled with self doubt. Entrepreneurs are survivors.

The enemies of the Soviet state calculate that the heavy loss we have borne will lead to disorder and confusion in our ranks. But their expectations are in vain: bitter disillusionment awaits them.

Now we need to go back to when we would raise our children together and be able to have that strong unit of community, which is our strength. So women together, as a tribe, to me, are the strongest force. But we were put in a position to have to compete with each other, and that's got to stop. We've got to know that whenever that creeps up in our head, that that's not our true nature. That was something that was embedded in us, and that needs to start to go away.
Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.
