George Orwell said "If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." Excellent quote. I saw video of people who didn't want a certain guy speaking at an event. Both sides kept pushing the “freedom of speech” excuse. Saying we can be here because we have the freedom to say what we want to say, but the other side said, but you're literally protesting HIS right to free speech. SO you have the right to tell him he does not have the right to speak freely? Then one of the people said “the freedom of speech includes things we disagree with, if it was only things we agree with, we wouldn't even need an amendment, everyone would agree, but it's the fact that we WILL disagree that we need freedom of speech in the first place!

Elvis Presley said "Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away." Very true! Someone, somehow will figure out your little secret and if it's been hidden long enough, it can cause you more damage. I've made some mistakes in my life, but I've stepped up to fess up each time. I recently had an issue where I billed someone for a job that ended up not happening. We were billing weekly before, then they asked us to switch to a monthly bill. We switched. We billed for a whole month, but before the end of the month, there was one event that was adjusted. We had already billed and they had already paid for it. I told them right away. He said, “We never would have noticed”, but I said “I would have known” so we did the right thing!

Mark Cuban said "Talent without effort is wasted talent. And while effort is the one thing you can control in your life, applying that effort intelligently is next on the list." I love this. Mark Cuban spent many years on the panel at the Shark Tank. I watched many episodes and I feel like I know his personality a bit. There are people who walk out with an idea and I know before the camera points to Mark, that he's going to be out. I also recognize people who walk out with a plan that he's going to love and it makes me happy when he signs up to invest in these people. Many times they are hard working people with a great idea and a ton of energy to get it done right! He's going to expect them to work their tails off to make it work, but many times they do exactly that!

Herman Melville, from "Moby-Dick" said "I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing." What a quote. This is my kind of attitude. My wife and I have been married almost 27 years. We've gone through many ups and downs. But one of the things that has helped us through the tougher times is our sense of humor. We were in a tough spot one time and things seemed to be getting worse. My wife with a straight face said, “Well, I said for richer and poorer, when does the richer part start?” We both laughed and the mood shifted to a much brighter place. We did get through the poorer part, we're still not rich, by the worlds standards, but I'd say I'm very rich in many ways. I get to do what I love, and I get to do it with someone I love!

James Baldwin said "The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love—whether we call it friendship or family or romance—is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other's light." Very nice quote. I've seen this too. I know someone who is very good at mirroring people. He is a great guy all the time, but when he's with someone who speaks fast, I noticed that he seems to speak faster. When he's with someone who speak more slowly, he slows down his speaking. He also talks about things that matter to the other people. When he speaks to me we talk about radio or comedy or some event I'm working on. Everyone seems to like him, but I think they like the reflection of themselves shining back from him. He's not being phony, that's just who he really is.
