Bossypants, by Tina Fey

“Bossypants Lesson #183: You can’t boss people around if they don’t really care.” – pg. 79

“You have to try your hardest to be at the top of your game and improve every joke you can until the last possible second, and then you have to let it go.” – pg. 113

“Ask yourself the following question: ‘Is this person in between me and what I want to do?’ If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way.” – pg. 130

“Sometimes if you have a difficult decision to make, just stall until the answer presents itself.” – pg. 183

“When people say, ‘You really, really must’ do something, it means you don’t really have to. […] When it’s true, it doesn’t need to be said.” – pg. 220
