Quotes on life and work in the 21st Century
I've been way too busy to post for a while, but Hemant pulled out some great excerpts from Fast Company and posted them on his blog. I haven't read that issue yet, but all the excerpts are worth reading and keeping tucked away. However, really liked the comparison of entreprenuers to DeNiro in Heat from Soul Proprietor:
- "Have you ever seen the movie with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino called Heat?" he continues. "De Niro is the bad guy, and Pacino is the good guy. And at one point, De Niro says to Pacino something like, 'One of the things that lets me do what I do is, there's nothing in my life that I won't walk out on in a matter of seconds. Nothing. So if you're going to chase me, and if there's something in your life that you're not willing to walk out on in a few seconds, you're going to lose.' That's what it's like to be an entrepreneur."
As a side note, Fast Company is appears to get it; they have a Fast Company blog.
