“The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
― Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
“Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.”
