“there are no bad teams, only bad leaders.”
Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win

Alan W. Watts
“For if we open our eyes and see clearly, it becomes obvious that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality.”
Alan W. Watts, The Way of Zen

Kilian Jornet
“Winning isn't about finishing in first place. It isn't about beating the others. It is about overcoming yourself. Overcoming your body, your limitations, and your fears. Winning means surpassing yourself and turning your dreams into reality.”
Kilian Jornet, Córrer o Morir

“The moment the alarm goes off is the first test; it sets the tone for the rest of the day. The test is not a complex one: when the alarm goes off, do you get up out of bed, or do you lie there in comfort and fall back to sleep? If you have the discipline to get out of bed, you win—you pass the test.”
Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win

Yoshida Kenkō
“[Life] is like a go player who, not wasting a move, gets the jump on his opponent by sacrificing a small advantage to achieve a great one. It is easy, of course, to sacrifice three stones in order to get ten. The hard thing is to sacrifice ten stones in order to gain eleven.”
Yoshida Kenkō
