Quotes by Mary Lippitt  (?)

“Abraham Maslow observed that when you only have a hammer, everything appears to be a nail. Indeed, such a limited view is mistaken, but so is the other extreme of attempting to focus on everything. Not everything warrants immediate attention. Judgment is vital.”
Mary Lippitt, Situational Mindsets: Targeting What Matters When it Matters

“The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise — with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.” — Abraham Lincoln”
Mary Lippitt, Situational Mindsets: Targeting What Matters When it Matters

“If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It'll be worth it, I promise.”
Steve Wozniak
