Additional quotes by Tim Denning

Stop being a people-pleaser. It’s sad. Fitting in means being mediocre. And that’s how you end up broke and depressed. There’s no need to be nice. Just say what you think. Avoiding conflict only makes the problem worse. Embrace the confrontation and be assertive. That’s how you create change and get unfairly yet highly compensated for it.
