Giveaway: Dance First. Think Later by Kathryn and Ross Petras

[ 121 ] February 25, 2011 |

I have a copy of Dance First, Think Later” by Kathryn and Ross Petras for one lucky winner, courtesy of Workman Publishing!

About the book

The right quote at the right time can change everything-Steve Jobs once read “Stay hungry. Stay foolish” on the back cover of The Whole Earth Catalog, and those four words came to guide his life. Pithy but profound nuggets of big-picture wisdom can give anyone direction, courage, and inspiration.

Created by Kathryn and Ross Petras, whose books and calendars have over 5.6 million copies in print, Dance First. Think Later” is a collection of the greatest life wisdom from an unexpected group of speakers, doers, and thinkers. There are 618 rules to live by-funny, thoughtful, offhanded, clever, and always profound:

  • “Spend the afternoon. You can’t take it with you.”-Annie Dillard
  • “If everything is under control, you are going too slow.” -Mario Andretti
  • “The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.” -Julia Child
  • “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” ―Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)
  • “Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity.” ―Ray Bradbury

“Dance First. Think Later” is the perfect timeless gift for recent graduates, newlyweds, new home owners, or anyone looking for a little uplift and direction.
