“I hate how many people think “glass half-empty” when their glass is really four-fifths full. I’m grateful when I have one drop in the glass because I know exactly what to do with it.”

For business, our internet love affair was a gift from the gods.

Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless.

The incredible brand awareness and bottom-line profits achievable through social media marketing require hustle, heart, sincerity, constant engagement, long-term commitment, and most of all, artful and strategic storytelling.

Social media is not a fad because it’s human.

Company culture is the backbone of any successful organization.

The chef that grew up with the grandma who cooks tends to always beat the chef that went to the culinary institute. It’s in the blood.

Company culture is a religion, not a sermon.

Content is king, but marketing is queen, and runs the household.

On Facebook, the definition of great content is not the content that makes the most sales, but the content that people most want to share with others.

Good salespeople sell value and social media is the best place to find this value because of its transparency.

It’s still so rare for anyone to be personally acknowledged by a brand that the impact of such a simple, polite gesture on a customer’s buying habits could be huge.

Word of mouth works now, much more than ever. @-reply every single person.

Pride slays thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.

I’m ready to do something with Lady Gaga or Andrea Bocelli. I’m really grateful that nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn’t death.

Be happy without being someone, love without loving someone.

Thankful for the rose grateful for its thorns these lessons bloom like weeds from them I am reborn.

When you are not happy with your life, always think that someone is happy simply because you exist.

Small daily happenings make life spectacular. Start enjoying the small things in life!

Unwanted favours gain no gratitude.
