Ferrazzi quote

"In my initial conversation with someone I'm just getting to know, whether it's a new mentee or simply a new business contact, I try to find out what motivations drive that person. It often comes down to one of three things: making money, finding love, or changing the world." [Keith Ferrazzi, Never Eat Alone]

  1. Thank you for sharing that quote. It got me thinking on my blog, about which category I fit in to. I realized I really am out to change the world, and I would suspect that many bloggers are as well.

    Keep up the good work.

  3. What if you want to change the world by finding love and sharing it (by inspiring it in others)? ;)

    I'm just playing on his words, obviously, but I often find quotes like this mislead people into thinking in the wrong categories.

    Then again, in this case, maybe not. =)
