"The illusion that one has understood the past feeds the further illusion that one can predict and control the future. These illusions are comforting. They reduce the anxiety that we would experience if we allowed ourselves to fully acknowledge the uncertainties of existence. We all have a need for the reassuring message that actions have appropriate consequences, and that success will reward wisdom and courage. Many business books are tailor-made to satisfy this need."
Daniel Kahneman
"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things."
Steve Jobs
"If people are not laughing at your goals, your goals are too small."

"What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do."
Bob Dylan
"More men are beaten than fail. It is not wisdom they need or money, or brilliance, or "pull," but just plain gristle and bone. This rude, simple, primitive power which we call "stick-to-it-iveness" is the uncrowned king of the world of endeavour. People are utterly wrong in their slant upon things. They see the successes that men have made and somehow they appear to be easy. But that is a world away from the facts. It is failure that is easy. Success is always hard. A man can fail in ease; he can succeed only by paying out all that he has and is."
Henry Ford
"A deep fall often leads to greater happiness."
William Shakespeare
"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently."
Henry Ford
"Perseverance is rewarded sooner or later, - but usually later."
Wilhelm Busch
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up men to procure wood, assign tasks and divide up the work, but teach them to yearn for the vast, endless sea."

"Some mountains seem impossible to overcome—until we take the first step."
