To be strategic is to concentrate on what is important, on those few objectives that can give us a comparative advantage, on what is important to us rather than others, and to plan and execute the resulting plan with determination and steadfastness.

Hard work leads to low returns. Insight and doing what we want lead to high returns.

I make it a personal rule never to do anything that I don't really care about. It is surprising how much this cuts out.

Chose the niche that you enjoy, where you can excel and stand a chance of becoming and acknowledged leader.

Only do the thing we are best at doing and enjoy most.
