“Part of making yourself a priority is spending time alone.”
Eric Thomas, You Owe You: Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your Why

“Cleaner Law: surround yourself with those who want you to succeed, who recognize what it takes to be successful. People who don’t pursue their own dreams probably won’t encourage you to pursue yours; they’ll tell you every negative thing they tell themselves.”
Tim S. Grover, Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable

“When you’re an A+ person, you want A+ people around you, and everyone has to be accountable for doing A+ work.”
Tim S. Grover, Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable

“I pulled people along when they didn’t want to be pulled. I challenged people when they didn’t want to be challenged, and I earned that right because my teammates who came after me didn’t endure all the things that I endured. Once you joined the team, you lived at a certain standard that I played the game, and I wasn’t gonna take anything less. Now if that meant I had to go in there and get in your ass a little bit, then I did that. You ask all my teammates, “The one thing about Michael Jordan was he never asked me to do something that he didn’t fucking do.” When people see this, they’re gonna say, “Well, he wasn’t really a nice guy, he may have been a tyrant.” Well, that’s you. Because”
Tim S. Grover, Winning: The Unforgiving Race to Greatness

John Rawls
“page 358-359
In everyday life the exchange of opinion with others checks our partiality and widens our perspective; we are made to see things from their standpoint and the limits of our vision are brought home to us.... The benefits from discussion lie in the fact that even representative legislators are limited in knowledge and the ability to reason. No one of them knows everything the others know, or can make all tie same inferences that they can draw in concert. Discussion is a way of combining information and enlarging the range of arguments”
John Rawls, A Theory of Justice
