Slavery was not a bad day on the job. It was not your boss yelling at you. It was not hard work for little pay. This was a full system of human subjugation.
The fruit flies we work with have the equivalent of about a 25 by 25 pixel camera. But that camera is very, very fast, about 10 times faster than the human visual system.
I don't think the idea of working in Hollywood really exists anymore. I think you work in films, and where the film is shot is where it's shot. The studio system doesn't really exist.
The welfare system was designed to do something different when it was started than what it does now. It was a safety net to help people get back to work: if they were sick, it would help them get back.
In practice, the copyright system does a bad job of supporting authors, aside from the most popular ones. Other authors' principal interest is to be better known, so sharing their work benefits them as well as readers.
I just enjoy both working and not working. And fortunately, I work enough where I get that out of my system, and then we take a few days off, take a rest.

From imperial, economic and ideological causes, many cultures are the inheritors, and hence the prisoners, of attitudes of scorn and disdain for other faiths – outlooks which are not ennobling to anyone.
The problem is never the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Think before you rush into action.
People are not who they say but rather who their actions reveal them to be....Be smart about it. Don't fall for the bullshit.
There are situations where the best solution still doesn't make everyone happy. The trick is understanding what's best.
Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three.
I have come to the conclusion that some people come in your life as blessings, others come in your life as lessons.
Smart people think. Brave people talk. Great people act.
Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.
Building a business is like creating a picture & striving to be picture perfect in everything you do.
Entrepreneurs are all unique. One way to build a business and turn it into a brand is to know who you are.
Wanna run a killer business? Design it from the start so that it's leverageable, expandable, predictable & financeable - & you're unstoppable.
