Things I've Learned from My Experience
• If companies need to repeatedly hire management consultants like Accenture's, what they really need to do is hire new managers.
• The cigarettes and candy Walgreens sells in the front of the store lead people to need the prescription meds it sells in the back.
• Even when you write about the reverence we have for World War II veterans, you really can’t put it into words.
• If you want to be a great ad writer, write more than ads.
• One thing I haven’t learned? How Intel’s engineers turn sand into a microchip. I can’t even turn it into a castle.
