“But your university education, at least at the bachelor of arts level, was never intended to land you a job.  It was intended to make you a more complete thinker.  It was intended to teach you how to absorb complex information and make reasoned arguments.  It was, quite simply, intended to teach you how to learn.  Those are skills that you’ll use in any field of work. 

Open your mind to all sorts of job possibilities.  Don’t be too proud to start out in the service industry, or where you might get your fingernails dirty.  Talk to as many people as you can about their career paths.  Go live overseas for a year or two.  But never, ever, allow yourself to think you’ve wasted your time in university if you don’t land a job as an economist.

Meanwhile, be encouraged and stay positive.  And yes, I will keep your letter on file.  But my guess is that when a position in my economics group eventually opens up, you’ll no longer be available.” – Todd Hirsch is the Calgary- based chief economist of ATB Financial and author of The Boiling Frog Dilemma: Saving Canada from Economic Decline.  This article was in the Globe and Mail, Sept. 27, 2013

“My conversation with Steven left me with many thoughts, but one prevailing theme: Although where we find ourselves at birth may be a matter of chance, an education puts us on our life’s paths.”- Devin Jones, Me to We volunteer in Kenya.  Metro news, Oct. 24, 2013
Jon Gosselin: “Although he admits he had a bit of trepidation about how the job would turn out, he talked himself into it. ‘At first I was nervous because I was like, 'How are people going to react?'" he confessed. "But then I'm thinking, 'Well, it's fun and I get to talk to people.' And they technically already know me … they're like 'Are you the guy?' I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm the guy.'"

"I don't regret anything. You learn from your mistakes. That's what builds you to who you are today," he mused.
But just who is he now? He's a 36-year-old father of eight who lives in a cabin with no TV, no Internet, and no regrets. "I've hit rock bottom like 20 times and I just bounce back and go somewhere else," he quips. "I [party] now on a different level."


On failure: “Every audition you didn’t do well in, the job you didn’t get, you get into trouble when you start looking at it as failure. I try to be happy for everything that happens, the good and the bad. Otherwise I wouldn’t be right here.”- Lisa Kudrow
“You have to be on top of your game, that’s how you become successful, you don’t give up.  People are going to say no to you, and you’re going to say thank you very much.  But you move on to the next opportunity.  Things happen for a reason, hard work pays off.”- Jessica Sutta from the Pussycat Dolls
 “His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point.” –Chris Brown’s rep about him going into rehab for anger management

“When I was younger, someone told me about a mental block that they were having and they said, ‘Man, I don’t know what to write about.’  And I said, ‘I think you just figured out what you should be writing about.  Just write about your mental block.  And once you do that, your mind will go somewhere else.’  You can’t write the same song twice.  And it definitely got the person past that spot.  As long as you have loyalty and curiosity, there’s always something to jot down ant talk about.” –Pharrel in the Globe and Mail, Sept. 14, 2013.

“It isn’t enough for you to love money – it’s also necessary that money should love you.”- Kin Hubbard

“It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.”-Terry Pratchett

“Become aware of the energy levels in your home environment.  Paintings, crystals, statues, spiritual passages, books, magazines, even the colors on your walls and the arrangement of your furniture all create energy into which you are catapulted for at least half of your waking life. Be aware of it! Be conscious of the energy of your home."
 -- Dr. Wayne Dyer, from the PBS special "The Power of Intention"

“I have realized that life is truly about choices and I made the best choice to change into a better me.”-Shannea Morris in the Globe and Mail on Oct. 18, 2013 about losing weight
