3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“Big outcome: Do the right thing well.
Big lesson: Do the right thing poorly.
Big risk: Do the wrong thing well.”
II
“So much of what we believe is the residue of someone else's thinking.
Pause and question things for a moment. Is this really how it has to be? Is this really what you want?”
III.
“It's not a race.
You are not ahead. You are not behind. You are here.
Enjoy it and make the most of it.”
