Adages From Ascent

Periodic Newsletters from Ascent Advising

Throughout human history, one of the most effective forms of communications has been the parable, the legend, the tale.  Similarly, short quotes and sayings do an amazing job of conveying otherwise complex topics, and serve as a mnemonic tool.

Ascent publishes a periodic newsletter based on a long list of time-tested sayings, or adages.  The goal is to provide helpful concepts, applicable in your life, both on and off the job.  We hear from many people that these concepts are useful and practical.

The newsletter is free, and we encourage you to subscribe below.  Feel free to forward the newsletters to others who might find them helpful.

If you would like to view newsletters published in the past, please refer to the list of links below.

Furthermore, if you have topics you would like to see covered in these newsletters, email us here.

“I am impressed with the look and feel of your Adages… your newsletter has developed a maturity, consistency, and I think, usefulness that bodes well.  It is concise, pertinent, easily read, and digestible.  It is no easy feat to effectively condense the wisdom of the ages into 100 second sound bites.  It would seem that you may have developed a knack for just that."

 “Keep it up – I look forward to receiving future installments.”

"Thanks so much for the thought provoking news letters."

"This is good stuff. Please keep me on your distribution list."

“I have been appreciating the subject of these messages.  The subject has direct application.”

"Thank you for your email updates.  I find them tremendously encouraging."
