Quote
“You can own a piece of my success, intended or unintended, by acceptance equally by your rejection. That’s one of my favorite lines. People don’t realize that by creating opportunities, we actually create a community where we all come in and enjoy and benefit.” – Alyne Cistone, founder and CEO of Global Tides Consulting LLC
