Organize and execute around priorities.

You can't live principals you can't understand.

People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally 'being lived.' They are acting out scripts written by parents, associates, and society.

If you can hire people whose passion intersects with the job, they won't require any supervision at all. They will manage themselves better than anyone could ever manage them. Their fire comes from within, not from without. Their motivation is internal, not external.

We not not our feelings. We are not our moods. We not even our thoughts.

Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another there's going to be trouble.

Real excellence does not come cheaply. A certain price must be paid in terms of practice, patience, and persistence - natural ability notwithstanding.
