In short: genes do not determine your destiny. They determine your areas of opportunity. - James Clear

One form of originality is creation. Another form is synthesis.

People often focus so much on creating new ideas that they overlook the value of synthesizing ideas from different sources.

Innovation usually mean connecting previously unconnected concepts.

Always leave room for the unexpected. A buffer of time, a little extra money, a reserve of goodwill.

You won't be maximizing every opportunity or squeezing out every last dollar, but what you lose in reward, you gain in safety.

Survival is the highest return of all.

The most invisible form of wasted time is doing a good job on an unimportant task.
