2 and 1/2 min. Took longer to get author than quotation. Was not sure of author, was not familiar with the author.

about 3 minutes BUT I had to ‘cheat’ to complete author.

Tried a ‘different’ approach today, just went and did it without looking at comments or for potential ‘clues’.

Hard headed me gets a ‘false start’ chasing a supposed clue and my mind won’t get off that track - even hours later....

Oh well....keep ‘em coming, thanks for your efforts.

very lucky guess with the contraction and everything fell into place - I did have to google it though to get the author.

I think I can understand the intent, but the quote is strange in the wording - don’t let that throw you off!

Got the quote quickly, but the author of the quote took a long time. Never heard of him/her.

Thanks for the greeting. Sorry, I don’t like this one. I guess the uniquely named, fairly obscure author gave a TED talk from which this line originated. He wants us to apply branding principles to our individual lives. Also, isn’t it standard to use a dash before the attribution? I was thrown off by the punctuation here.
