Bite-sized wisdom can go a long way. This is why I include quotes in our daily emails, on social media, in my presentations and, occasionally, in these blogs. They’re simple and short but always impactful. Often they give us encouragement at just the right time, urging us to stay on the right path and continue striving for success.
As a pick-me-up, here are 10 quotes that our readers liked in these difficult times. Let’s carry this bite-sized wisdom and motivation as we head into the holiday season.
