Revolutions are an attempt to shatter
the power of evil by violence. [We] think
that by hammering upon the mass [we]
will be able to break it into fragments.
This only makes it more dense and
impermeable. Disruptive movement
must come from within.

Are you In ‘Sanity’?
Winners quit all the
time. They just quit the
right stuff at the right
time. – SETH GODIN
Right v. wrong curve
Playing where no one else is playing?
From a position of your strength?
Is it hard, but not debilitating?
Are you gaining momentum?
No S-curve is ever wasted.

Ender must believe that no matter
what happens, no adult will ever,
ever step in to help in any way. If
he does not believe that to the
core of his soul, he will never
reach the peak of his abilities.

Failure is especially acute for corporate professionals where the ethos is kill or be killed. So failure is ‘being killed’ and elicits tremendous shame.

Do I dare disturb
the universe?
