Nigga, don’t act like a bitch!
That’s why I never love a ho (bitch)
50 Cent, Too $hort, and E-40 sayin’ BITCH! (remix!)
She sucked me off, don’t kiss that bitch
(from new york to the bay)
(from new york to the bay)
Oh why oh why’d you marry that bitch
[50 Cent]
He said he love ‘em man, you really think he love ‘em, man?
She’s a super freak, freakier than he understands
She not the type of girl that you take home to your mother
She’s the type that you take to the track to come up on a sucker
Watch her deep throat; see her DP
Ending up on fours like it’s easy
It’s not a big deal, she doin’ what she do
She doin’ it with everybody, not just you (hello)
I’m trying to put you up on game
You getting emotionalthen you can get the fuck on, man
You buy her everything; you let her treat you like a trick
That sugar daddy mentality, it make a nigga sick
She ask for it, you just run and get it for her
No matter how much you give her, she wants more
I hate to tell you, but you end up with a whore
And chances are, if niggas try, they gonna score
Man, fuck that
[Hook]
Bitch!
That’s why I never love a ho (bitch!)
50 Cent, Too $hort, and E-40 sayin’ BITCH!
She sucked me off, don’t kiss that (bitch)
Oh why oh why’d you marry that bitch
[Too $hort]
See me, I get everything I wanna get
I have some fun with it, and make her momma trip
Cause if I’m in her life, it’s a problem
A real player’s at your girl, you better stop him
Turn your back on the bitch she ain’t actin right
He hit it way before you now he’s back in her life
What you gon’ do when you lose her?
She got a nigga on the side just to use her
If it’s me, I’m parkin at the front do’
And you be knockin on her bedroom window
You see the shadows, you hear the sounds
But you don’t do nothin you just turn back around like a (BITCH!)
Feelings hurt, ready to cry
You cain’t believe, everything she said was a lie
She got a lot of bitch in her but not more than you
I never underestimate what these whores’ll do
[Hook]
Nigga don’t act like a (bitch!)
[50 Cent]
You love her, I fuck her
She might jump off, she your baby momma
You kiss her, I twist her
And send her ass back to you before you miss her
[Vincent Tolan]
(Bitch!)
I’m a player, baby (I’m a player, baby)
Don’t play no games
(bitch!)
I remain the same, I ain’t never gon’ change
for you bitch
Nah, not for you baby
That’s why I’ll never love a ho
50 Cent, Too $hort, and E-40 sayin’ BITCH! (come on 50 Cent)
She sucked my off, don’t kiss that bitch
(please don’t kiss her, please don’t kiss her)
Oh why oh why’d you marry that bitch

He had his own way of defusing the madness. In 1999, on the 30th anniversary of the moon landings, “when there were still raw feelings … the impeachment … I got Nasa to loan me a moon rock, carbon-dated 3.6 billion years old. I put it on the table in the Oval Office and when people started the crazy stuff, I’d say, ‘Wait a minute guys. See that rock, it’s 3.6 billion years old. We’re all just passing through, take a deep breath, calm down, let’s see what makes sense.’ It had an incredible calming effect!- Financial Times interview with Bill Clinton

Netflix
There have been some big changes here at Netflix. Way back in July, your company’s market value was $16bn. We think shareholders may prefer our new, more manageable market cap of about $7bn. This exciting shift means new investors can buy our shares for almost 60 per cent less than they cost just a few months ago.
Some of our longer-term investors may find this transition a little bit confusing. We apologise most sincerely. Let us take some time to say what’s happened.
Of course, we don’t set our stock price. You, our investors, do that. And to those who owned the stock at its peak, thanks for believing in us when our shares were trading at 60 times this year’s earnings. That made sense if you consider only our sales growth (over 50 per cent in June, the sixth straight quarter of acceleration) and dominant market share of US online subscription viewing (nearly 90 per cent this year, according to IHS screen digest). We appreciate the way you averted your eyes as Amazon and Hulu hopped over our industry’s low barriers to entry, and our content costs rose even as revenue per subscriber fell.
Things are different now. We made two bold decisions: an abrupt and poorly presented price increase and the break-up of our brand. “Netflix” was too well known; we thought people might prefer to rent DVDs from “Qwikster”. While neither decision can explain the crash in our shares, they did focus everyone’s attention on what a hard business we’re in and how unsustainable our margins appear. Now that we have set a much lower entry point for investors, we can announce today that we’re rolling back the Qwikster idea. Please don’t worry about how our new, lower valuation (24 times earnings) still dwarfs, say, Apple’s (14 times), despite Apple’s faster growth. We hope you are as excited about Netflix’s future as we are.

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
—Steve Jobs 2005 Stanford Commencement

You need to go down from molecules to electrons.. if you want to change the world. Actually it happens all the time. Every industry that goes from molecules to electrons as ways of distribution is radically disruptive.- Shai Agassi

…iki saat sonra kalabalığın içinde, sinemadan bir dar sokağa çıkan sanki başka birisiydi. Düşünüyordu: “çağımızda geçmiş yüzyılların bilmediği, kısa ömürlü bir yaratık yaşıyor. Sinemadan çıkmış insan. Gördüğü film ona bir şeyler yapmış. Salt çıkarını düşünen kişi değil. İnsanlarla barışık. Onun büyük işler yapacağı umulur. Ama beş-on dakikada ölüyor. Sokak sinemadan çıkmayanlarla dolu; asık yüzleri, kayıtsızlıkları, sinsi yürüyüşleriyle onu aralarına alıyorlar, eritiyorlar.” saatine baktı: dört buçuğa beş vardı. “eve gidip okusam.” durağa yürüdü. “bunları kurtarmanın yolunu biliyorum. Kocaman sinemalar yapmalı. Bir gün dünyada yaşayanların tümünü sokmalı bunlara. İyi bir film görsünler. Sokağa hep birden çıksınlar…” kafasından geçene güldü. Duraktakiler dönüp baktılar. Kadının biri kaşlarını çattı. Sokakta kendi kendine sesli gülünemeyeceğini bilmeyen yoktu. “ne adamlar be. Güldüysem güldüm size ne?” duramadı orda, yürüdü. Eve gitmeyecek. İçindeki ’sinemadan çıkmış kişi’yi öldürdüler. Sağ kalan sıkıntılı, kızgın.- Yusuf Atılgan, Aylak Adam

Müzakere ve pazarlıklar sanıldığı gibi masada halledilmez, aslında masaya oturmadan bitirilir, masa sadece redaksiyon içindir. Baştan yaptığın plan, ona göre oluşturduğun strateji ve buna uygun olarak belirli bir süreç içinde uyguladığın politikalarla karşındakini önceden (o farketse de farketmese de) kıskıvrak bağlarsın, o, ihtilaf çıkıp da müzakere masasına oturulduğunda çok geç kaldığını orada idrak eder, ancak kendisine önerileni (dikte edileni) bir anlaşma metnine dönüştürür, bu arada birkaç da iyileştirici ama neticeyi değiştirmeyen rötuşla kendini ferahlatır!… Bütün büyük ustalar müzakere konularını müzakere masasından önce hallederler!- Reha Tanör

Bir gün bir derviş, bir kucak dolusu elma ile bayırlar aşan bir genç kıza rastlamış.. Bozkırın sıcağında yorgunluktan al almış kızın yanakları..
“Nereye gidersin? Ne doldurdun kucağına?” Diye sormuş derviş.
Uzak bir tarlayı işaret etmiş kız: “Sevdiğim çalışıyor orada… Ona elma götürüyorum.”
“Kaç tane” diye soruvermiş derviş.
Kız… şaşkın: “İnsan sevdiğine götürdüğü şeyi sayar mı hiç?” deyivermiş..
Ve usulca koparıvermiş derviş elindeki tespihin ipini!
