We can make up for lost money, but we can't make up for lost time.

Being driven is not the same as being passionate. Passion is a love for the journey. Drive is a need to reach the destination.

For values or guiding principles to be truly effective they have to be verbs. It's not "integrity," it's "always do the right thing." It's not "innovation," it's "look at the problem from a different angle." Articulating our values as verbs gives us a clear idea - we have a clear idea of how to act in any situation.

We should never change our minds about where we are going, but always be curious about different ways to get there.
