Knowing what to do is very, very different than actually doing it.

For at no time are any events predestined. There should be no such word in your vocabulary, for with every moment you change, and every heartbeat is an action, and every action changes every other action.

There is no other way to change your physical reality but by changing your thoughts.

If your team is filled with people who work for the company, you'll soon be defeated by tribes of people who work for a cause.

On the one hand you take life too seriously, and on the other, you do not take playful existence seriously enough.

And yet the real success goes to those who obsess. The focus that leads you through the Dip to the other side is rewarded by a marketplace in search of the best in the world. A woodpecker can tap twenty times on a thousand trees and get nowhere, but stay busy. Or he can tap twenty-thousand times on one tree and get dinner.

Sometimes we spend more time than we should defending the old thing, instead of working to take advantage of the new thing.
