    Niccolò Machiavelli
    “Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by the sense of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion.”
    Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

  • #2
    “ZERO TO ONE EVERY MOMENT IN BUSINESS happens only once. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won’t create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them.”
    Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

  • #3
    “What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”
    Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

  • #4
    “Elite students climb confidently until they reach a level of competition sufficiently intense to beat their dreams out of them. Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce rivalries with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking. For the privilege of being turned into conformists, students (or their families) pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in skyrocketing tuition that continues to outpace inflation. Why are we doing this to ourselves?”
    Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

  • #5
    “The most valuable businesses of coming decades will be built by entrepreneurs who seek to empower people rather than try to make them obsolete.”
    Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

  • #6
    “Madness is rare in individuals—but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule,”
    Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Start Ups, or How to Build the Future

  • #7
    “You don't necessarily need atomic bombs to destroy a nation. Politicians who value their pockets than the life of citizens always do that every day.”
    Israelmore Ayivor, Leaders' Ladder

    Abhijit Naskar
    “Facebook Sonnet

    Facebook is not just injurious to health,
    It's now a full-on humanitarian crisis.
    If you think it's just a harmless bad habit,
    You're fanning the flames of social necrosis.
    Social media ought to make people social,
    Not make pavlov's dogs out of humanity.
    Yet all that facebook actually does today,
    Is drive society towards clinical insanity.
    Social media is not necessarily bad,
    So long as it doesn't feed on our stability.
    Yet facebook has devised the perfect algorithm,
    To learn, pump and monetize human instability.
    Facebook is the definition of what AI must be not.
    Algorithm without humanity is mental holocaust.”
    Abhijit Naskar, Handcrafted Humanity: 100 Sonnets For A Blunderful World

    Germany Kent

    Jyoti Patel
    “For a better mental health, just turning off the unwanted notifications, getting rid of the social apps that you don’t really need to have will help you in different ways.”
    Jyoti Patel

    Abhijit Naskar
    “Sonnet of Technology

    Technology is not good or bad,
    For it knows no ethics and principles.
    The prime directive of all gadgets,
    Is to obey algorithm without scruples.
    The problem is not technology,
    Nor is it the capitalist tendency.
    The real disease is human recklessness,
    Which is rampant in modern society.
    Your phone is not ruining your peace,
    You yourself are doing it all.
    A society oblivious to moderation,
    In time causes its own downfall.
    Power is power only when used with caution,
    If used wildly all power is poison.”
    Abhijit Naskar, Mucize Insan: When The World is Family

    Abhijit Naskar
    “Phones are neither good nor bad, they are just lifeless machines that were invented to serve humankind, yet humankind, with their everlasting stupidity have turned this communication marvel into psychological suicide.”
    Abhijit Naskar, The Gospel of Technology

  • #14
    Abhijit Naskar
    “To solve the problems created by social media platforms, many politicians are now giving the call to break up big tech. Empowered by their own limited understanding of the matter and blinded by their own biases, their brain has made them believe that impeding the growth of big tech companies will magically give power back to the people. Here they act just like another kind of anti-intellectuals, who can't even perceive the real problem, so they think of breaking up the companies as the ultimate solution. The real problem here is the psychological inability of the human population to use the platforms in a healthy manner.”
    Abhijit Naskar, Mission Reality

    Umberto Eco
    “Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community ... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots”
    Umberto Eco

  • #16
    Chief Seattle
    “My people are few. They resemble the scattering trees of a storm-swept plain...There was a time when our people covered the land as the waves of a wind-ruffled sea cover its shell-paved floor, but that time long since passed away with the greatness of tribes that are now but a mournful memory.”
    Chief Seattle, Chief Seattle's Speech (1854)

  • #17
    “Humility is a virtue of the heavenly, not arrogance. Are we the most superior beast on earth? No, not in strength and not in intelligence. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Both rats and monkeys have been shown to learn from error, yet we have not. More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause on earth. Is massacring God’s creations really serving God – or the devil? And what father would want to see his children constantly divided and fighting? What God would allow a single human life to be sacrificed for monetary gain? Again, the Creator or the devil?”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

    “A man doesn't begin to attain wisdom until he recognizes that he is no longer indispensable.”

    Hal Elrod
    “There is nothing to fear, because you cannot fail—only learn, grow, and become better than you’ve ever been before.”

  • #22
    Jim Rohn
    “Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development because success is something you attract by the person you become.”
    Jim Rohn, The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life: Before 8AM

  • #23
    Hal Elrod
    “Our outer world will always be a reflection of our inner world. Our level of success is always going to parallel our level of personal development. Until we dedicate time each day to developing ourselves into the person we need to be to create the life we want, success is always going to be a struggle to attain.”
    Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life: Before 8AM

    “هناك مسلمون حتى في ماليزيا، يعتقدون أن الشيء الوحيد الذي يجعل دولة ما دولة اسلامية هو ضرب اعناق القتلة وقطع ايادي السارقين.”

    Jared Diamond
    “Science is often misrepresented as ‘the body of knowledge acquired by performing replicated controlled experiments in the laboratory.’ Actually, science is something broader: the acquisition of reliable knowledge about the world.”
    Jared Diamond, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed

    William Shakespeare
    “Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
    Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
    And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
    Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
    And too often is his gold complexion dimm'd:
    And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
    By chance or natures changing course untrimm'd;
    By thy eternal summer shall not fade,
    Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
    Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
    When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
    So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
    So long lives this and this gives life to thee.”
    William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets
