In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
-Charles Buxton
Common people have an appetite for food; uncommon people have an appetite for service.
-J. R. D. Tata
If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
