"If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company"
- Jean-Paul Sartre
About this Quote
Jean-Paul Sartre's quote is a reminder that we should make every effort to be content with our very own business. It suggests that if we are really feeling lonely when we are alone, it is since we are not in good company with ourselves. This might mean that we are not respecting ourselves, or that we are not participating in activities that bring us pleasure and fulfillment. It could likewise indicate that we are not putting in the time to assess our lives as well as appreciate the advantages we have. Inevitably, Sartre's quote urges us to be conscious of our very own firm as well as to aim to be material with ourselves. We need to take the time to value our own firm as well as to engage in activities that bring us delight and contentment. By doing this, we can make sure that we remain in excellent company with ourselves.

"Shareholder activism is not a privilege - it is a right and a responsibility. When we invest in a company, we own part of that company and we are partly responsible for how that company progresses. If we believe there is something going wrong with the company, then we, as shareholders, must become active and vocal"
