One of my great regrets, and I don't have many, is that I spent too long putting people's status and reputation ahead of their more important qualities.

Professional Inspiration
When Americans are asked to rank professions in terms of honesty and ethics, insurance agents routinely end up near the bottom of the list - somewhere between politicians and car salesmen.

Work Inspiration
Mostly I make lists for projects. This can be daunting. Breaking something big into its constituent parts will help you organize your thoughts, but it can also force you to confront the depth of your ignorance and the hugeness of the task. That's OK. The project may be the lion, but the list is your whip.

Women Inspiration
