We're better in the rearview mirror than we are at predicting - 'cause you're never going to be right every time. You can handicap it. You can point to certain elements that make it work, and many of those elements come straight out of epidemiology, right?

Connect, create meaning, make a difference, matter, be missed.

Successful people are successful for one simple reason: they think about failure differently.

People who make a difference never wait for just the right time. They know that it will never arrive.

Many people are starting to realize that they work a lot and that working on stuff they believe in (and making things happen) is much more satisfying then just getting a paycheck and waiting to get fired (or die).

One key to learning and success is the willingness to try something new, and feel momentarily incompetent.

As long as you want to please everyone, you won't please anyone.
