To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated.

We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give.

Instead of always chasing the erasure of friction, it's worth thinking about how friction can help people slow down when they actually need to slow down! Security is a great reason to slow down. Saving a click but losing an account is no bueno.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Successful outcomes are built up through good choices over time.

A profitable business is never a choice, it is a series of choices.

A fit body is never a choice, it is a series of choices.

A strong relationship is never a choice, it is a series of choices.

“The real problem of humanity is the following: we have paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology”

Edward O Wilson (2009).

Investors: Any startup that gets started during the next few months is disproportionately likely to succeed. Success depends most of all on determination, and imagine how determined you have to be to start a startup in the middle of a global pandemic.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

One form of innovation is originality. Another form is synthesis.

People often focus so much on being original that they overlook the value of synthesizing ideas from different sources.

There's a lot of value in connecting previously unconnected ideas.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

I don’t like formality. There’s no formality when we’re born and none when we die. In between we should treat each other as brothers and sisters because we all want to live a happy life. This is our common purpose and our right.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

You are richer than 93% of people.

Not in money, but in time.

108 billion people have lived throughout history. 93% of them are dead.

You have what every king and queen, every pharaoh and ruler, every CEO and celebrity of the past would give all their wealth for:

Today.

Success is never due to one thing, but failure can be.

Sleeping well won’t make you successful, but not sleeping enough will hold you back.

Hard work is rarely enough without good strategy, but even the best strategy is useless without hard work.

Necessary, but not sufficient.

I'm trying to understand Millennial/GenZ cancel culture & not just be an old Baby Boomer, but it seems to me that if you think @BarackObama is not woke enough to understand what injustice means I think you've gone off the rails of moral progress.

“Decency quotient” is a way of telling employees to treat their coworkers & community the way they’d want to be treated. “Put your hand on my back, don’t put it in my face,” Ajay Banga @mastercard CEO says.
