I recently finished ‘Leaves of Grass’ by Walt Whitman. Below are some of the quotes I like: You shall no longer take things at second or third hand…nor look through the eyes of the dead….nor feed on the spectres in books,You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, You shall listen…… Continue reading Leaves of Grass – Walt Whitman Quotes

This is normal for an Account Manager because there is always the fear of losing accounts, of management restructuring yet…… Continue reading Journal Entry 5.10.2017
