Twain: “History does not repeat itself but it rhymes.” Gates: “Tough decisions: … how to get out, when, and without losing face.”The Gates quote, in his 1996 memoir (From the Shadows), refers to the Soviet

Lessons from the Football FieldMaybe you've become sick of hearing about it all over social networks (Twitter even has a dedicated section for it on their site). Perhaps you're a fan and have watched every game. No matter what you think of the FIFA World Cup, there are certainly some great business lessons to gain out there on the pitch.That's right.

The challenge of relationships"It doesn't much signify whom one marries, for one is sure to find out the next morning that it was someone else."-- Samuel RogersDespite our passion for romantic love, relationships are not the easiest way to find love and peace.
