“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.”

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.
