When we launched a new company, I reviewed the ads and marketing materials and asked those presenting the campaign to read everything aloud to test the phrasing and concept. If I could grasp it quickly, then it passed with muster. We would get our message across only if it was understandable at first glance.
Richard BransonMany people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.
Joyce MeyerAdvertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
George OrwellIt’s a common misconception that money is every entrepreneur’s metric for success. It’s not, and nor should it be.
Richard BransonThe uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror.
Brene BrownI love it when Muslims go to war with each other, as I do when the Christians do, because it shows there’s no such thing as the Christian world and the Islamic world. That’s all crap.
Christopher HitchensI have a form of Parkinson’s disease, which I don’t like. My legs don’t move when my brain tells them to. It’s very frustrating.
George H. W. BushIt is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Douglas AdamsPeople have me pinned as a shark or a predator in some way, and in no way am I that. I wouldn’t want to hurt anyone. I want to defend people. I want to help people.
Kanye WestAdvertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do. And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook – they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing – so there’s really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that.
Mark ZuckerbergI’m always amazed at how many people assume a business has to lose money before it makes money.
Robert KiyosakiReading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software.
Arthur C. ClarkeThe misconception that aid falls straight into the hands of dictators largely stems from the Cold War era.
Bill GatesAdvertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.
Will RogersA lot of advertising has gotten worse. I think it’s kind of lost its nerve, to be honest with you. I feel like the advertising of the ’60s, they were nervier. You know why? Because there was less at stake.
Jerry SeinfeldThe only frustrating thing about jail is that I can’t make music.
Kevin GatesA mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.
Bob DylanHate, emotionalism, and frustration are not policies.
Madeleine AlbrightI have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.
Vivienne WestwoodPeople don’t realise how difficult it is to work with people day in and day out that know absolutely nothing.
Abby Lee MillerI’m just hoping that people understand that Islam is peace and not violence.
Muhammad AliEveryone knows that when you look at a television ad, you do not expect to get information. You expect to see delusion and imagery.
Noam ChomskyOften, I can scarcely hear any one speaking to me; the tones yes, but not the actual words; yet as soon as any one shouts, it is unbearable. What will come of all this, heaven only knows!
Ludwig van BeethovenThe elections are run by the same industries that sell toothpaste on television.
Noam ChomskyThe usual method of finding a little dongly thing that actually matches a gizmo I want to use is to go and buy another one, at a price that can physically drive the air from your body.
Douglas AdamsI always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren’t there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.
Angelina JolieIt’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Barack ObamaI don’t like L.A. It’s just not fun. I don’t know why, but I just don’t get it. You have to drive to get everywhere, and when it rains everybody freaks out.
Lady GagaAs I see it, fast food outfits have targeted small children with their advertising in a very effective way. You know, it’s clowns and kid’s toys and bright colors and things like that.
Anthony BourdainI know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.
Barack ObamaWith Windows 8, Microsoft is trying to gain market share in what has been dominated by the iPad-type device. But a lot of those users are frustrated. They can’t type. They can’t create documents.
Bill GatesIt takes more than capital to swing business. You’ve got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by – Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics.
Isaac AsimovThe trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.
Ronald ReaganA tremendous amount of the entrepreneurial initiative, if you want to call it that, comes from the dynamic state sector on which most of the economy relies to socialize costs and risks and privatize eventual profit. And that’s achieved by, if you like, advertising.
Noam ChomskyI went to a general store. They wouldn’t let me buy anything specifically.
Steven WrightNothing is so aggravating than calmness.
Oscar WildeWe have these services that people love and that are drivers of data usage… and we want to work this out, so that way, it’s a profitable model for our partners.
Mark ZuckerbergLaughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
Kurt VonnegutAnd let’s be clear: It’s not enough just to limit ads for foods that aren’t healthy. It’s also going to be critical to increase marketing for foods that are healthy.
Michelle ObamaOur fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.
Dale CarnegieI’ve done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they’re going to be compared directly against other ads.
Jerry SeinfeldI’ve been lucky – all the ads I’ve got, I’ve got to be myself. I haven’t had to act too much or tried too hard to be someone I’m not. I think that’s why people sort of like them. Even the Fastrack ads I did with Genelia.
Virat KohliA belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Aldous HuxleyI used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.
Stephen HawkingI’ve done many ads because that’s my new career. It’s an inspiring extension for my mind.
Karl LagerfeldOn every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
Barack ObamaRed is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.
Taylor SwiftAs a medical doctor, I have known the face of adversity. I have seen much of death and dying, suffering and sorrow. I also remember the plight of students overwhelmed by their studies and of those striving to learn a foreign language. And I recall the fatigue and frustration felt by young parents with children in need.
Russell M. NelsonI worked in ad sales. I would call up local businesses and try to get them to buy ads in the paper. The whole time, I felt like I was just scamming people.
J. ColeI hate fund-raising. Haaaaate it. Hate, hate it.
Michelle ObamaHere’s something that’s contrary to popular belief: I actually don’t like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don’t. I do not like to think at all.
Kanye WestI’ll never make it, it will never happen, because they’re never going to hear me ‚cause they’re screaming all the time.
Elvis PresleyThe worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‚Bye!‘
Jerry SeinfeldI never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.
Abraham LincolnI’m sick of giving creeps money off my soul.
Bob DylanWe only need so much to survive, but this world we live in tells us we need more stuff to be happy. We’re inundated with our televisions, the Internet and advertising that says in order to be happy you have to have these things. When you say, ‚Gimme, gimme, gimme,‘ you will always be in short supply.
Wayne DyerHe was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Benjamin DisraeliFrustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.
Joyce MeyerNeeding to have things perfect is the surest way to immobilize yourself with frustration.
Wayne DyerI always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.
Karl Lagerfeld
