THOUGHTS TO SELL BY EDITED BY LAWRENCE J. TUTTLE • PHOTO BY GERHARD GSCHWANDTNER


HARDSHIP


We get these lives for free. I didn’t do anything to get this life, and – no matter what the hardships are – it is free and, in a way, it’s an extraordinary bargain. – JUNOT DIAZ


Immigrant parents dream that their children will find a place in their new home, and they willingly suffer hardships in service to that dream. That was certainly true of my parents. – GENE LUEN YANG


With everything that has hap- pened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself, or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose. – WAYNE DYER


REJECTION


There’s nothing like rejection to make you do an inventory of yourself.


– JAMES LEE BURKE


Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better.


– SASHA GREY


Don’t waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good. – RALPH WALDO EMERSON


Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don’t base your self- esteem on others’ opinions. – HARVEY MACKAY


He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine receives light without darkening me. – THOMAS JEFFERSON


The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas – and throw the bad ones away. – LINUS PAULING


Language is the means of getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery. – MARK AMIDON

IDEAS


If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these ap- ples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. – GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
