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, “Be Yourself. Everyone Else Is Already Taken” 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.
Some of my favorite quotes? In no particular order...
"If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun"...Katherine Hepburn (I think this must the mantra of my kids!!)
"It ain't as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning" Colin Powell
"We are all bozos on the same bus, so we might as well sit back and enjoy the ride" Wavy Gravy (clown)
“Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” Roald Dahl
Aren't those just great?? Some of these quotes have really helped me put things perspective when I am having a bad day and many of them have given me a good chuckle (see what Jerry Seinfeld says about fun for the whole family!!). This one is great for anyone needing a boost or a reminder to "not sweat the small stuff". You can pick up a copy today for only $8.95 by clicking here.
