“The younger you are, the more likely you will give your attention to many things. That’s good because if you’re young you’re still getting to know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses. If you focus your thinking on only one thing and your aspirations change, then you’ve wasted your best mental energy. As you get older and more experienced, the need to focus becomes more critical. The farther and higher you go, the more focused you can be—and need to be.”
― John C. Maxwell, How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

“Gladwell refers to research done by the political scientist Ivan Arreguin-Toft, who looked at every war fought in the past two hundred years in which one side was at least ten times stronger than the other. He found that the weaker side won almost 30 percent of the time—a remarkable feat. The reason? They fought a different war than their opponents. The 70 percent that lost? They fought the conventional way; they engaged in battle using the same rules as their stronger opponents.”

Every so often, a random mutation is thrown in to help drive the process in entirely new directions.”
