Duplex Quotes

“What was that education? Question everything, but keep your word. Doubt everything, but never give others a reason to doubt you.”
― Orson Scott Card, Duplex

“When you get a job—and eventually you probably will, what with the college degree you’re going to get—you’re going to be working on jobs with real people working over you and alongside you and, God help us, under you someday, and they will all be irritating. Annoying. Many of them infuriating. Some people can be patient and kind in dealing with them, unfailingly polite, never talking bad about them behind their back, helping them when they need it even if they’ve been rude before. Those people are suited to becoming management. Leaders. But a kid who can’t let any annoying thing his fourteen-year-old sister does pass by without getting ridiculously, embarrassingly red-faced-and-screaming angry at her—that kid is not leadership material.”
