<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-size: 22px">If you are reading this, then this warning is for you:<br /> <br /> Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don’t you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can’t think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? <br /> <br /> Do you read everything you’re supposed to read? Do you think everything you’re supposed to think? Buy what you’re told to want?<br /> <br /> Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity, you will become a statistic. You have been warned.<br /> <br /> -Tyler Durden</span></div>

In the<br /> course of Time, these Extensive maps were found somehow<br /> wanting, and so the College of Cartographers evolved a Map of<br /> the Empire that was of the same Scale as the Empire and that<br /> coincided with it point for point. Less attentive to the Study of<br /> Cartography, succeeding Generations came to judge a map of such<br /> Magnitude cumbersome, and, not without Irreverence, they<br /> abandoned it to the Rigours of sun and Rain.

<div class="bbWrapper">Ford, whose electrical engineers couldn’t solve some problems they were having with a gigantic generator, called Steinmetz in to the plant. Upon arriving, Steinmetz rejected all assistance and asked only for a notebook, pencil and cot. According to Scott, Steinmetz listened to the generator and scribbled computations on the notepad for two straight days and nights. On the second night, he asked for a ladder, climbed up the generator and made a chalk mark on its side. Then he told Ford’s skeptical engineers to remove a plate at the mark and replace sixteen windings from the field coil. They did, and the generator performed to perfection.<br /> <br /> Henry Ford was thrilled until he got an invoice from General Electric in the amount of $10,000. Ford acknowledged Steinmetz’s success but balked at the figure. He asked for an itemized bill.<br /> <br /> Steinmetz, Scott wrote, responded personally to Ford’s request with the following:<br /> <br /> Making chalk mark on generator $1.<br /> <br /> Knowing where to make mark $9,999.<br /> <br /> Ford paid the bill.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Couple from Robin Sharma that I really like:<br /> <br /> “People residing within the cult of average don’t like to see others rise. It threatens their security and spotlights their low self-worth. Go for great, no matter what they say.”<br /> <br /> “Average performers stop when they feel fear. Iconic producers accelerate once they get frightened.”<br /> <br /> My personal favorite:<br /> <br /> “One of the saddest things in life is to get to the end and look back in regret, knowing that you could have been, had, and done so much more”</div>
