| Quotes |

Puma SA's Hayden Manuel on how marketers can keep abreast of influencer marketing John C. Maxwell "Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan." Benjamin Franklin "It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it." Michael Jordan "My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength." Friedrich Nietzsche "All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." |
