More From Joe Hill

Blessed is the satirist; and blessed the ironist; blessed the witty scoffer, and blessed the sentimentalist; for each, having seen one spoke of the wheel, thinks to have seen all, and is content.
Witty Blessed Thinking
When we die to something, something comes alive within us. if we die to self, charity comes alive; if we die to pride, service comes alive; if we die to lust, reverence for personality comes alive; if we die to anger, love comes alive.
Pride Self Personality
The music business has made a 360. it's a whole 'nother game. it's not nearly what it was. and i fear for it, because, you know, with the advent of the computer and online and downloading and all these things, they have destroyed - that stuff has destroyed the record business, not the music business, but the record business. the music business is well, and it's alive and thriving. now, i hope something happens to turn it back around to the point whereas it's - you're earning a living from writing your songs, from your work, you know, because it's not like that anymore.

I think the things that are more painful to me are not the intrusion of paparazzi, it's the lack of civility that i find more intimidating and far more painful an experience. it's the lack of critical thinking. it's the endless snarky, mean way we talk about each other, we approach each other. the anonymity of being cruel, the delight in tearing people down. the tabloid era that we find ourselves in is a cultural boneyard, and that is painful to me.
Mean Thinking People
There's some that came here never believing they were dead. they insisted all the way that they were alive, it was a mistake, someone would have to pay; made no difference. there's others who longed to be dead when they were alive, poor souls; lives full of pain or misery; killed themselves for a chance of a blessed rest, and found that nothing had changed except for the worse, and this time there was no escape; you can't make yourself alive again.
Pain Mistake Believe
I only do business with the people i do business with. the people i do business with find out i do business with the people i don't do business with.... i can't do business with you.

Who comes first? don't be silly, says king hal; it's employees. that is - and this dear watson, is elementary - if you genuinely want to put customers first, you must put employees more first.

Women do not win formula one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the g-forces. in the boardroom, it is different. i believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions.
