Four-and-a-half years after we started, @helveticagirl and I are so proud to share the work of the thousands of talented people we work with here at @oracle every day. Lots more work to do, but so happy to share where we're at: https://t.co/jmdnM9AUHy.

There is a difference between moving fast and rushing.

You can move fast and be thoughtful. When you rush, you sacrifice thoughtfulness.

Conversely, when you are thoughtful but not moving fast, you are overthinking it. Procrastination in disguise.

Don’t rush, but don’t wait.

If men were to live a thousand years, he would come to understand all his pursuits and dreams mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

That the fall and rise of an empire has no more significance than a tree burning in a forest, a beetle dying, a cloud forming, a soul rising.

An amateur product leader wants to be right. A professional product leader wants to make the correct decision.

To make the correct decision, you need to be very open to being proven wrong.

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

One of the biggest keys to success at anything hard is believing that you can figure it out as you go along.

A lot of people won't start until there is no uncertainty. Because most hard things can't be figured out in advance they never start.

The power of @reddit cannot be denied! We sat down with its head of marketing sciences to learn about opportunities for marketers to tap into the world of user-generated content. https://t.co/DXX0SmARhN #Advertising

A core component of making great decisions is understanding the rationale behind previous decisions. If we don’t understand how we got “here,” we run the risk of making things much worse.

We need to understand this

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

There's no shame in not knowing things! The only shame is to pretend that we know everything. 🧠

[James Clear @JamesClear]

I admire people who can turn it on and turn it off.

Be a gentle spirit with most, but stand firm whenever necessary.

Don’t take yourself so seriously most days, but turn into a straight killer when the game begins.

Etc.

Being one thing all the time is suboptimal.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Another advantage of complaining over actually doing things is that complaining will never contradict your assumptions, whereas when you have to do things you often learn in the process that your initial assumptions were incorrect.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Be teachable! You're not always right.

Humility is necessary for growth! 🧠

The best thing I've read all day

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

In this video, Nick Desbarats proposes a taxonomy of dashboard types.

Nick shows how we can move past much of the controversy and have far more productive dashboard design best practices discussions.

The story you expect, is never the one you find. Talk to your customers, your users and find those stories.
