“Dance First. Think Later”: 618 Rules to Live By

Timeless in their wisdom, thought-provoking in their message, surprising in their truth and memorable in their originality, the right words can give direction, inspiration, and sometimes a tangible boost onto the right path. For example, Steve Jobs once read “Stay hungry Stay foolish” on the back cover of The Whole Earth Catalog, and those four words came to guide his life.

Created by Kathryn and Ross Petras, connoisseurs of quotes, whose books and calendars have over 56 million copies in print, “Dance First. Think Later.” is a collection of the greatest life wisdom from an unexpected group of speakers, doers, and thinkers. There are 618 rules to live by―funny, sly, declarative, thoughtful, offhanded, clever, and always profound:

“Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” ―Roald Dahl

“If everything is under control, you are going too slow.” ―Mario Andretti

“Never make a credit decision on a beach.”―Victor J. Boschini

“Dance first. Think later. It’s the natural order.”―Samuel Beckett

“The only time to eat diet food is while waiting for the steak to cook.” ―Julia Child

“What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway.” ―Mother Teresa

And: “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”―Oscar Wilde

Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google That Will Transform How You Live and Lead

From the visionary head of Google’s innovative People Operations–a groundbreaking inquiry into the philosophy of work and a blueprint for attracting the most spectacular talent to your business and ensuring the best and brightest succeed.
“We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. It’s not right that the experience of work should be so demotivating and dehumanizing.” So says Laszlo Bock, head of People Operations at the company that transformed how the world interacts with knowledge. This insight is the heart of WORK RULES!, a compelling and surprisingly playful manifesto with the potential to change how we work and live.

Drawing on the latest research in behavioral economics and with a profound grasp of human psychology, Bock also provides teaching examples from a range of industries–including companies that are household names but hideous places to work, and little-known companies that achieve spectacular results by valuing and listening to their employees. Bock takes us inside one of history’s most explosively successful businesses to reveal why Google is consistently rated one of the best places to work in the world, distilling 15 years of intensive worker R&D into delightfully counterintuitive principles that are easy to put into action, whether you’re a team of one or a team of thousands.

Cleaving the knot of conventional management, some lessons from WORK RULES! include:
Take away managers’ power over employees Learn from your best employees–and your worst Only hire people who are smarter than you are, no matter how long it takes to find them Pay unfairly (it’s more fair!) Don’t trust your gut: use data to predict and shape the futureDefault to open: be transparent, and welcome feedbackIf you’re comfortable with the amount of freedom you’ve given your employees, you haven’t gone far enough WORK RULES! shows how to strike a balance between creativity and structure, leading to success you can measure in quality of life as well as market share. Read it to build a better company from within rather than from above; read it to reawaken your joy in what you do.

Fake Quotes To Live By

Some of the funniest fake quotes by the famous and infamous. The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, homophones, double entendre, parody, mockery, and the absurd to ridicule or to expose and criticize stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary or historical politics and other topical issues such as language and other fads as a form of social critique and commentary. A literate x-ray into the truth as someone might quote it.
