“A lot of people talk about expecting the best but preparing for the worst, but I think that’s a seductively misleading concept. There’s never just one ‘worst.’ Almost always there’s a whole spectrum of bad possibilities. The only thing that would really qualify as *the* worst would be not having a plan for how to cope.”

“This is the point at which Tom Rivellini reminded me of the old saying, ‘The coward dies a thousand deaths.’ There’s plenty of time to confront ‘the worst’ if it comes to that, so there’s no point rushing ahead to assume that you’ve reached it. Today I tell my teams, ‘Just keep working, and if death comes to visit us, let us be surprised.’ Where there is will and ingenuity, there has always been a way.”

“Nothing puts more weight into your opinion than that it is well considered, well articulated, and coming from a high performer. If you want people to take you seriously, better put your head down and be useful to them.”

But instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile.

I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours. But if work is interpreted to be a definite performance in a specified time according to a rigid rule, then I may be the worst of idlers.
