The Art of Selling an Expensive Watch →
youmightfindyourself:
When a man in a Cartier watch stepped into the IWC Schaffhausen boutique in Beverly Hills recently, salesman Hua Huynh sprang into action. He led the customer to a case of Aquatimers, the Swiss brand’s line of self-winding dive watches. “What’s the damage?” asked the customer, pointing at one model. “The value is $5,800,” replied Mr. Huynh. “Would you like to try it?”

Thought is Diffuse in Experience
As one examines where one is experiencing experience, one will find that it is everywhere. One does not experience things in a focal point; that is a belief system of the mind. For example, I ask someone who is not aware of this, “Where do you experience your thoughts?” Out of habit the person points to their head and says, “Here.” That is a belief...

BILL MOYERS: You were still working for Cigna?
WENDELL POTTER: I was. I went home, to visit relatives. And I picked up the local newspaper and I saw that a health care expedition was being held a few miles up the road, in Wise, Virginia. And I was intrigued.
BILL MOYERS: So you drove there?
WENDELL POTTER: I did. I borrowed my dad’s car and drove up 50 miles up the road to Wise, Virginia....

Men.Style.com: A really interesting interview with...
Men.Style.com: You were there to witness the strange evolution in Michael's appearance. Did you ever step in and saying anything about it?
Quincy Jones: Oh, we talked about it all the time. But he'd come up with, "Man, I promise you I have this disease," and so forth, and "I have a blister on my lungs," and all that kind of b.s. It's hard, because Michael's a Virgo, man—he's very set in his ways. You can't talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff.
MSC: Did you believe him about the disease?
QJ: I don't believe in any of that bullshit, no. No. Never. I've been around junkies and stuff all my life. I've heard every excuse. It's like smokers—"I only smoke when I drink" and all that stuff. But it's bullshit. You're justifying something that's destructive to your existence. It's crazy. I mean, I came up with Ray Charles, man. You know, nobody gonna pull no wool over my eyes. He did heroin 20 years! Come on. And black coffee and gin for 40 years. But when he called me to come over to see him when he was in the hospital on his way out, man, he had emphysema, hepatitis C, cirrhosis of the liver, and five malignant tumors. Please, man! I've been around this all my life. So it's hard for somebody to pull the wool over my eyes. But when somebody's hell-bent on it, you can't stop 'em.
MSC: But it must've been so disturbing to see Michael's face turn into what it turned into.
QJ: It's ridiculous, man! Chemical peels and all of it. And I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black.
MSC: Is that what it was?
QJ: Well, what do you think? You see his kids?
MSC: Did you ever discuss it? Did you ever ask, "Michael, don't you want to be a black man?"
QJ: No, no, no, please. That's not the way you do it.
