Hi, I'm Steve Supple. I created these quotes so you can benefit from them. Feel free to use them (with name). I write about creativity and creating careers that people will love. People long for careers that are satisfying and profitable, but many never work out just how to get there. It has been something that has bothered me most of my life, so I set out to know how its possible.
