Shashi Tharoor
“Who knows whence this creation had its origin?
He, whether He fashioned it or whether He did not,
He, who surveys it all from the highest heaven,
He knows—or maybe even He does not know.
— Rig Veda, X.129 1
‘Maybe even He does not know!’ I love a faith that raises such a fundamental
question about no less a Supreme Being than the Creator of the Universe
Himself. Maybe He does not know, indeed. Who are we mere mortals to claim a
knowledge of which even He cannot be certain?”
Shashi Tharoor, Why I am a Hindu

Fumio Sasaki
“Want to know how to make yourself instantly unhappy? Compare yourself with someone else.”
Fumio Sasaki, Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism

Marcus Aurelius
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Marcus Aurelius

Jake Knapp
“We’ve found that magic happens when we use big whiteboards to solve problems. As humans, our short-term memory is not all that good, but our spatial memory is awesome. A sprint room, plastered with notes, diagrams, printouts, and more, takes advantage of that spatial memory. The room itself becomes a sort of shared brain for the team.”
Jake Knapp, Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days

Jim Mattis
“If you haven't read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren't broad enough to sustain you.”
Jim Mattis, Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead
