Worth Thinking About
“It took me years and years to realize a very simple thing, which is that when you write fiction you’re raising questions, and a lot of people think you’re playing a little game with them and that actually you know the answers to the questions. They read your question. They don’t know how to answer correctly. And they think that if they could only meet you personally and look into your eyes, you could give them the answers.”
― Ann Beattie

Let’s go!

The 5 Levels of Leadership by John C. Maxwell
