Ernest Cline
“My friend Kira always said that life is like an extremely difficult, horribly unbalanced videogame. When you’re born, you’re given a randomly generated character, with a randomly determined name, race, face, and social class. Your body is your avatar, and you spawn in a random geographic location, at a random moment in human history, surrounded by a random group of people, and then you have to try to survive for as long as you can.”
Ernest Cline, Ready Player Two

Thomas Erikson
“But the most important lesson that you can walk away with is that the idiots who surround you are, in fact, not idiots at all. Instead, they are individuals worthy of respect, understanding, and being valued.”
Thomas Erikson, Surrounded by Idiots: The Four Types of Human Behaviour

“Humility is important in a leader and role model. When you succeed, speak about it softly or let others mention it for you. But when you make a mistake say it clearly and loudly, so that everyone can learn and profit from your errors. In other words, “Whisper wins and shout mistakes.”
Reed Hastings, No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention

Johann Hari
“The average office worker now spends 40 percent of their work time wrongly believing they are "multitasking"--which means they are incurring all these costs for their attention and focus. In fact, uninterrupted time is becoming rare. One study found that most of us working in offices never get a whole hour uninterrupted in a normal day.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention— and How to Think Deeply Again

“Lead with context, not control,” and coaching your employees using such guidelines as, “Don’t seek to please your boss.”
Reed Hastings, No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention
