The Quote Jar: Twenty Six

Following each Q&A session I post a separate entry including quotes from various sites and publications from the web. Clicking each of the links will open a new window containing the full article or video (if publicly accessible).

The names and concepts below were mentioned by Alex during his Q&A.

” No matter how nervous you are (or stressed, if you’re stumbling into the meeting in the midst of a bad day), take the time to genuinely smile when you shake hands with the other person. For one, it sets the energetic tone for the meeting…Smiles are how we can feel connected to one another – it establishes trust and camaraderie right off the bat.” – Stephanie Burns

“The ultimate present you can give another is your PRESENCE. How many times have you been in a conversation with someone, and you know their mind is in another place?” – Angela Maiers

“I always knew what I didn’t want. That was the rule in my life. I absolutely knew what I didn’t want; that gave me the idea and the rest was intuition. Then coming to America I didn’t want to fit in to the way photographers did commerce. I could see I had choices.” – Robert Frank
