If your dream dies, dream another one. If things don't work out the way you've planned, God has a better plan for you.

We need to have a better balance between a deliberate strategy and staying open. Because in the end, most of us end up being successful in a career that we never imagined we would be in at the beginning.

Ideas, dreams, and goals morph as we experience life, so I'm not sure I can look at it like there's something I haven't yet achieved since I will always be striving for something more.

I just love Ottawa because I was able to develop a lot of things, my own character as a man.

I think we all want to know that if our lives don't turn out the way we imagine, there's still a purpose.

We misjudge risk if we feel we have some control over it, even if it's an illusory sense of control.

These days it is not very easy to overtake in Formula One, the cars have great aerodynamic downforce. When you are behind a car, you lose downforce.

It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.

Show me the way, Lord. Show me what I am to do, because I fear I have two paths before me and neither one suggests itself over the other.

Real-Time Agenda Once the lightning round and progress review are complete (usually no more than fifteen minutes into the meeting), now it is time to talk about the agenda. That's right. Counter to conventional wisdom about meetings, the agenda for a weekly tactical should not be set before the meeting, but only after the lightning round and regular reporting activities have taken place.

It's hard to predict what life will be like in a hundred years. There are only a few things we can say with certainty. We know that everyone will drive flying cars, that zoning laws will be relaxed to allow buildings hundreds of stories tall, that it will be dark most of the time, and that women will all be trained in the martial arts. Here I want to zoom in on one detail of this picture. What kind of programming language will they use to write the software controlling those flying cars?

Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other. Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These meetings are waiting for us, but more often than not, we avoid them happening. If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself, and our universe changes direction.
