Nowists are more likely to experience joy because they embrace the uncertainty of existence. They are switched on by the uncertain stuff of human life and come alive when faced with life at its most uncontrollable.

Your life is what happens when you're busy trying to become unbusy.

Embrace the perpetual joy of moving perpetually forward.

Only the right pain gets the right gain.

You get told to look before you leap. But if you are too careful you may end up just looking.

The best things happen to those who don't wait.

Pushing your limits is what allows you to grow stronger, so if you find yourself feeling passive, it can make sense to dial it up a little. Get moving. Accomplish something small. Do something you enjoy. Embrace what moves you. And start again.

If life is fast, live faster.

If you don't start, you're finished.

Adaptability is about the powerful difference between adapting to cope and adapting to win.

Strategy is about out-thinking your competition. Mark Zuckerberg, while at Harvard, built a website called Facemash __or fun_. Even today, Facebook believe that __one is better than perfect_.

A great strategy meeting is a meeting of minds.

Doing nothing requires effort. Over time, that effort is greater than the effort necessary to improve, or move somewhere better. The trick is to redirect energy.

Brilliant strategy is the best route to desirable ends with available means.

With a clever strategy, each action is self-reinforcing. Each action creates more options that are mutually beneficial. Each victory is not just for today but for tomorrow.

Strategy is not really a solo sport _ even if you__e the CEO.

Following the rules of your industry will only get you so far.

The real heart of strategy is the strategist.
