it’s not about how good you are at your best, but how good you are at your worst
I take care of the runs and runs take care of everything
if your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough
in hindsight, we give ourselves the benefit of foresight
perfect is boring and dreams are not real
ditch the dream and be a doer
be santa claus when you can
carpe every diem
map out your future, but do it in pencil
life is in the transitions
the wound is the place where light enters you
don't stop being a garden if surrounded by weeds
il faut
fight the big fights
in the end, all you will take with you is what you've given away
think different
loyalty is a two-way street
hope is not a strategy
culture eats strategy for breakfast
only the paranoid survive
if not now, when?
you be you
always choose to dance
be compassionate not only to others but yourself
people don’t forget how you made them feel
outwork, outimprove, outstrategize and outlast the rest
a wealth of information creates a poverty of information
over promise over deliver
be distinct or be extinct
enjoy being uncomfortable
have a clear goal in life and stop imagining what will go wrong
accountability + candor + generosity + vulnerability = trust
what you see shapes how you change
giving makes the enervating energizing
every conversation is an invitation to risk revealing the real you

it’s about experimenting, reflecting and revising
keep reinventing yourself
without reflection, you will be in the same loop
life is not a single story
don’t let the fear of fear stop you
you can't reason with weakness
live in defiance of the weakness
chaos happens naturally, simplicity is a choice
discipline equals freedom
remember, don't dwell
maintain the momentum
commit first, figure it out later
if you can, you must
you don’t have to like what you do to love what you do
how can you dominate if you don't dominate?
normal is boring
lazy is the root of all evil
what you obsess with becomes your reality
make time or make excuses
make time, don't manage it
never tame your obsessions
use the naysayers as a guide and haters as fuel
what's the edge for if not to stand on it
starve the doubters and stay on track
if you don't have haters, you're not making a difference
if you want to meet the devil, have enough white space on your calendar
we measure what's easiest not what matters most
don't seek solutions, wait for them
concentration constricts, attention expands
be brave enough to suck at something new
you are what you pay attention to
nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little
we fear what is not harmful and desire what is not necessary
you needn't know what you are looking for in order to find it
we confuse data with information, info with knowledge and knowledge with wisdom
what you seek is seeking you
we are all wounded, only the size and shape of the wound differ
see the world with the eye of a child and the mind of a sage
if I am not I, who will be?
we see more by scanning than by staring
what you see, you become
it takes the doing hand to make the seeing eye
be curious, be a great listener
be humble, gracious, and unassuming

empowering others to find a vision is what makes you a leader
there are no failures, only lessons
if you can't control your emotions, you can't control your money

it’s hard to beat someone who never gives up

go for a cause that's bigger than you
your best is all you can do; no regrets
persistence and hard work will always lead to success
you should let life change you or else it's waste of life
use obstacles as stepping stones to something better
the best way to predict your future is to create it
either find a way, or make one
the secret of success is in trying ‘one more time’
explore, dream, discover - sail away from the safe harbor
failing to try is trying to fail
love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort
I am, therefore I think
serendipity has a plan for me
instead of asking “what’s bothering you”, ask “what do you want”
spend 5% of your time on the problem and 95% on the solution
the quality of the result is a function of the number of iterations
go the extra mile, it's seldom crowded there
begin with the end in mind
impossible just takes a little longer

nobody has to be perfect till you fall in love with them
thunder is impressive but it's the lightning that does the work
out of bed != being awake
if you fall on your face, at least you're moving forward
life is about learning to dance in the rain, not about waiting for the storm to pass
most people tiptoe through life hoping they make it safely to death
if you are too busy to learn, you won't be busy for too long
if you can, why wouldn't you?
experience tells you what to do, confidence allows you to do it
life begins at the edge of your comfort zone
learning from experience is painful, not learning even more so
luck is predictable; if you want more, take more chances

values are like fingerprints, you leave them all over everything you do
you have to do what you need to do before you can do what you want to do
the worst thing about fear is it's going to get worse
your success in the past may block you from succeeding in the future
happiness comes from moving closer to what you want, not from getting it
my interest is in the future because I'll spend the rest of my life there
obstacles are frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal
don't enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought
we must take change by the hand, or it'll take us by the throat
the way we see the problem is the problem
where are you, where would you like to be and how would you like to get there?
in God we trust, all others must bring data
if you have everything under control, you aren't going fast enough
prefer people who rock the boat to those who jump out
it's never too late to be what you might have been
you have all the disadvantages required for success
see everything, overlook a great deal, and correct a little
success is determined by how people react to failure
nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself
people may doubt what you say but they'll believe what you do
strategy is a commodity, implementation is an art
important and relevant are not the same thing
you miss 100% of the shots you don't take
expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less
bloom where you are planted
eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time
quality of your questions determines quality of your life
be a sponge, curiosity is life
ideas are a commodity, execution of them is not
there's no such thing as insufficient resources, only insufficient resourcefulness
opposition is good, kites rise against the wind
patience persistence and perspiration are an unbeatable combination for success
a comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing grows there
simplify your message and repeat often
success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
the way to succeed is to double your failure rate
under promise, over deliver
every time you fail, you get closer to success
a mind stretched by a new idea or sensation never shrinks back
skills and savvy get you to the top, character keeps you there
make sure bad news travels quickly to those who can do something about it
