"Saint with White Sleeves"This is just so easy to forget:
Edward Norton, in case you didn't know, is a movie director. Here's something else he said that I really respect:I think there is a serious corruption in the idea sold through advertising that you can attain spiritual peace through lifestyle and the notion of building your happiness from the outside-in by acquiring things... which if you think about it, is the essence of advertising.
-- Edward Norton
If you're overpaid, with a job you enjoy, how can you not give something back?How refreshing that he knows he's overpaid. How refreshing that he believes he has a duty to do good in addition to doing well.
Ah, but having "a job you enjoy" is so much more precious than being overpaid. And perhaps more likely to inspire you to give something back.
