QUOTES/JOKES

*****

1. A writer comes home to a burned down house. His sobbing and slightly-singed wife is standing outside. “What happened, honey?” the man asks. “Oh, John, it was terrible,” she weeps. “I was cooking, the phone rang. It was your agent. Because I was on the phone, I didn’t notice the stove was on fire. It went up in second. Everything is gone. I nearly didn’t make it out of the house. Poor Fluffy is–” “Wait, wait. Back up a minute,” The man says. “My agent called?”

2. Did you hear about the writer who jumped out the window on the 15th floor? He could have gone to the 16th, but that's another story.

“It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.”
~ Robert Benchley

“The art of writing is the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair.”

~ Mary Heaton Vorse

VIDEOS

Don’t find a job, find a mission.

Celeste Headlee does a great job in this TedTalks video getting you to think about where you want to be in your career in the future.

Her point in the video is to forget about the job title and to consider your mission. You find happiness and challenge in working with those things that drive you.

Amazingly, she says that nine of ten people do not like what they do for a living. Is that you?

She gives you some amazing things to think about and to act on. Take a look.

This video is 16:37 minutes long.
