"Never let a good crisis go to waste"
"I'm not a good father and they're not children any more; the eldest is in his fifties. My relationship with their mothers broke down and, because of what the law was, they went with their mothers and were imbued with their mothers' morality in life and they were not my people any more."
"It is better to read a little and thoroughly than cram a crude undigested mass into my head, though it be great in quantity."

Careers are not ladders, those days are long gone, but jungle gyms. Don't just move up and down, don't just look up, look backwards, sideways around corners. Your career and your life will have starts and stops and zigs and zags. Don't stress out about the white space-the path you can't draw- because there in lies both the surprises and the opportunities."
"Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice."
"I'm sure every pattern has been covered, but it's nice to think you might dwell on some that other people don't."

"Recognize and honour your uniqueness."
"Keeping the mind open to new ideas, not being too anxious about success, putting 100% effort and meditation is the formula for entrepreneurs."
