Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Trust is like glass. It takes time to heat and temper, to make it transparent for both parties to see through. But once it’s shattered, there are so many broken pieces on the floor that it’s impossible to put back together. A year may pass, and you’ll step into the kitchen barefoot for a glass of water and get a shard in your heel. And you’ll remember how it got there.”
“Power and wealth can be taken away—and all that’s left is your word. If you don’t have that, then you don’t have anything.
When someone opens a door, you just walk through it. Don’t wait for it to close because it might be locked the next time you try to open it. Life is fucking hard, and you should use every advantage you have at your disposal.
You could look corruption in the eye and have no idea it's corruption’s gaze you meet.
