A Quote by Kimberley Nixon

It's why I got into this business to begin with, because I really don't have the discipline or intellect to have a 9-to-5 job.

Otherwise you sit down, it sounds really weird, but that's the part that wears you out.
In really good companies, you have to lead. You have to come up with big ideas and express them forcefully.

Over time, I came to see that waiting to discover which way the wind was blowing is an excellent way to learn how to be a follower.
