"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials."
"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something.
It seemed obvious to them after a while.
That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things."
“To be successful, a man must exert an effective influence
upon his brothers and upon his associates, and the degree in which he
accomplishes this depends on the personality of the man.
The incandescence of
which he is capable.
The flame of fire that burns inside of him.
The magnetism
which draws the heart of other men to him.”
“Most important of all, to be successful in life demands
that a man make a personal commitment to excellence and to victory, even though
the ultimate victory can never be completely won.
Yet that victory might be
pursued and wooed with every fiber of our body,
with every bit of our might and
all our effort.
And each week, there is a new encounter; each day, there is a
new challenge.”
