The important thing concerning life and work is to enjoy yourself and continue to work. I know Life is a journey, not a destination. That’s also true in business – your objectives keep moving.
Communications are most successful if they can reflect consumers’ values back to them in ways that strike an emotional chord – i.e emotional envelopes to deliver key messages about the client’s product.
If you give a consumer a snapshot where he could see himself as he really is and the way he wants to be portrayed  people really respond to it. The emotionalism translates into behaviour in the marketplace.

If you are committed to creating value, and if you aren’t afraid of the hard times, obstacles become utterly unimportant. A nuisance, perhaps, but with no real power. The world respects creation. People will get out of your way.
People don’t grow if you are soft with them. You catapult people forward by being extremely blunt.”

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent.”

“Spike” Shelton Jackson Lee  40 Acres and a Mule – Filmist and Entrepreneur
“Start grooming people to own businesses. Then you can start doing what you want.”
