We crave explanations for most everything, but innovation and progress happen when we allow ourselves to embrace uncertainty.

We are all so preoccupied with ourselves. How can I get happy, how can I find the job I love, how can I become a millionaire, how can lose weight. Yet, the reality is that fulfillment, success and all of these good things comes from trying to help those that we care about to achieve those things.

Pilots, to a large degree, are like salesmen. They have to be confident to be good at their jobs. They have to practice relentlessly and plan out all the scenarios of the things that could happen when they're out there. Nothing is more important than preparation. They are also mighty competitive, both as individuals and as squadrons.

Complaining begets more complaints. Anger begets more anger. And optimism begets more optimism.

When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.

Vision is the ability to talk about the future with such clarity it is as if we are talking about the past.

True love is when both people think they have the better half of the deal.
