At the end of August, Judge Judith Scheindlin (aka Judge Judy) had beat Oprah for #1 rated syndicated TV show.... for nine weeks in a row. Slightly shocked? So was I.
Here are some key pieces of wisdom from television's most famous judge:
"If you're a positive person, there are no mistakes, only learning experiences. Even robbing a bank is a learning experience if you get caught."
"You also need to know your business, make yourself an expert in it and then you can negotiate within that business. Most importantly, become indispensable in whatever job you do. [...] if you run a doctor's office and the doctor can't function without you, because you know the office and are great with the patients, then you've become indispensable and you can set your own terms."
"The important thing people have to do is live within their means. They can have big dreams, there's nothing wrong with dreaming, but it became the American Dream to live the dream without the resources to do it."
"I'd be lying to you if I said that I don't use [my fame]. Everybody uses what they have."
