And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff.

Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody.

Debt creates stress, stress creates behaviors that don't lead to happiness.

We live in a vague world. And it gets vaguer all the time. In this environment, the power of the specific, measurable and useful promise made and kept is difficult to overstate.

Either you defend the status quo, or you invent the future.

Gifts are not favors. If you expect something in return, it's not a gift.

No organization ever created an innovation. People innovate, not companies.

Will you succeed because you are more well-rounded than others? Because you fit in better than everyone else? Bloody unlikely. We succeed when we are trusted to be the best at what we do.

You can't have good ideas unless you're willing to generate a lot of bad ones.
