"Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience." ― Miguel de Cervantes Topic(s): Experience More From Miguel de Cervantes "There is also this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means, draw it all out, and hold him to it." "One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will be better for this." "Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it." More In Experience "The most experience I had in the criminology field is playing a thug as an actor. That was my first paid job. The police academy at the college was paying people to reenact the calls that potential cops would get. So I got to play thugs and people who were unruly."― Jeremy Renner "We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better."― Jeff Bezos "No matter how close to personal experience a story might be, inevitably you are going to get to a part that isn’t yours and, actually, whether it happened or not becomes irrelevant. It is all about choosing the right words."― Roddy Doyle
