When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age?
Everything else in marriage is transitory.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.

Franz Schubert

Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

Samuel Johnson

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.

Ask the Right People for References

Don’t underestimate how important references are to the hiring process. Even before you start interviewing, develop a mental list of past and current colleagues who could serve as your references. Your list should have former and current bosses, coworkers, and subordinates. Ask managers who have given you positive performance reviews, coworkers who have thanked you for help on projects, and people who have successfully worked under you. Never ask someone to be a reference if you don’t know for certain what he or she is going to say. If you don’t want colleagues to know you’re considering leaving, offer to provide references outside of your company or offer to provide references once you get a formal job offer. Just make sure to find out what the hiring manager wants to check. For example, if he wants to learn about your leadership style, he should speak to your direct reports.

Adapted from “How to Choose the Right References” by Rebecca Knight.

“You may be whatever you resolve to be. Determine to be something in the world and you will be something. “I cannot,” never accomplished anything; “I will try,” has wrought wonders.”

—J. Hawes
