You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared, but only men of character are trusted.

The best way out is always through.

A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
