It doesn’t matter who or how many come at you, you have to be you. Confidently. Authentically. Bravely. - Ryan Holiday

You cannot have your news instantly and have it done well. You cannot have your news reduced to 140 characters or less without losing large parts of it. You cannot manipulate the news but not expect it to be manipulated against you. You cannot have your news for free; you can only obscure the costs. If as a culture we can learn this lesson, and if we can learn to love the hard work, we will save ourselves much trouble and collateral damage. We must remember: There is no easy way.

Vires acquirit eundo (We gather strength as we go).

Focus on the present moment, not the monsters that may or may not be ahead.
