If the theory accurately predicts what they [scientists] see, it confirms that it's a good theory. If they see something that the theory didn't lead them to believe, that's what Thomas Kuhn calls an anomaly.

Clayton Christensen
I have been blessed to see visions of eternity and events in my future that have been important for me to foresee, have been revealed to me.
Clayton Christensen
I've concluded that the metric by which God will assess my life isn't dollars but the individual people whose lives I've touched.
Clayton Christensen

Clayton Christensen
If you study the root causes of business disasters, over and over you'll find this predisposition toward endeavors that offer immediate gratification.
Clayton Christensen
A lot has been written about the Internet bust. From my point of view, it's quite clear the Internet isn't a category the Internet is a technological infrastructure that can be deployed to facilitate a disruptive business model or a sustaining business model.
Clayton Christensen
The answer is the disruptive innovator, an outsider, who creates a product or service for the non-existing consumer in a non-existing market for almost no profit.
Clayton Christensen
The only useful information about the market will be what I create through expeditions into the market, through testing and probing, trial and error, by selling real products to real people who pay real money.
Clayton Christensen
There are direct paths to a successful career. But there are plenty of indirect paths, too.
Clayton Christensen
If you defer investing your time and energy until you see that you need to, chances are it will already be too late.
Clayton Christensen
Management has to provide the coordinating mechanism between what the supplier provides and what the user needs in not-good-enough situations where product architecture is consequently interdependent. Management always beats markets when there is not sufficient information.

I've concluded that the metric by which God will assess my life isn't dollars, but the individual people whose lives I've touched. I think that's the way it will work for us all. Don't worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved worry about the individuals you have helped become better people.
