Life Lessons by Iris Krasnow:
"Do it in your 20s: all of your freedom and all of your fun."
"Drink deeply of this amazing city."
Balancing Family and Career
- Your gut is always right. Do what makes your gut happy.
- When you have a family and kids, they will become the center of your life, then your career.
- Freelance! Freelance! Freelance!
- Journalists are typically poor.
- Your boss expects your work to come first,
not your kids. - You can't have it all (with family and career)
- Don't just email, knock on the door. COMMUNICATION.
- Truth takes time.
- "Things could always be worse."
- Everyone has a book in them
- Be brief, dramatic, and funny.
- Go forward, not backward
- Never lose sight of your family -- you only have one.
