If we want to sum up the theory of evolution by natural selection in two words, which have great relevance for all societies and businesses, we should simply remember: diversity works.

Creation occurs when ideas and individuals collide and collude.

What could you achieve that would make you proud, that no one else could do with the same ease?

Strive for excellence in few things, rather than good performance in many.

Few people take objectives really seriously. They put average effort into too many things, rather than superior thought and effort into a few important things. People who achieve the most are selective as well as determined.

Instead of expending time to train yourself not to be afraid of snakes, avoid them altogether.

To get useful new ideas, we must go beyond our immediate circle and make contact with distant parts of the social system.
