If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault; it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.
The best way to be missed when you're gone is to stand for something when you're here.
Playing the game is a form of winning the game. In those competitions, we win by being resilient.
