Once you make the right assessment, then you have the right expectations and you have no disappointments.
You are the architect of your fortune, […]

By Nathaniel :: September 26th, 2007 :: Living Exceptionally :: Comments (0)

There was a great post over at Copyblogger last week about fighting through obstacles to creative thinking, and the quote that really stuck in my head was “Quit worshipping rule breakers start breaking some rules.” Pretty sexy huh?

Carpe Moderation!

By Nathaniel :: September 19th, 2007 :: Living Exceptionally :: Comments (1)

Chances are you’ve been introduced to the Dutch phrase “Carpe Diem” in one of 3 ways:

Quotes are Best When Shared with a Friend

By Nathaniel :: August 24th, 2007 :: Quote Friday :: Comments (3)

There’s no doubt that the 20-something American male communicates better amongst his peers using movie quotes than actual, original statements. They make us laugh, they allow us to identify with one another, they let us express things emotionally that we have no idea how to get across otherwise. Every circle of friends has […]
