“It is impossible for a man to begin to learn what he has a conceit that he already knows.” — Epictetus
It’s so simple and so smart: you can’t learn something you think you already know.
And another share-worthy quote from a James Altucher blog post:
“The floors are empty. That’s the Citigroup building over there. That’s probably some ad agency there. That’s a bank or a law firm over there. All empty desks, empty floors, empty buildings.
“The middle class has been hollowed out. There’s no need for paper shufflers anymore. No need for middle management. It’s either outsourced to China or technology takes care of it. Millions of people in middle management, in middle class jobs will be fired or replaced by cheap labor and technology and there’s nothing anybody can do about it.
