“Success is a frame of mind they either want to have or not. The biggest lesson for them is this: Success doesn’t live in the past. Memories do. Success lives in the here and now and tomorrow. It really doesn’t matter what you accomplished ten years ago. What matters is what you’re doing today, and what you’ll accomplish next. Anything else is just ego. Throw away the plaques and the trophies. They aren’t who you are.”

“[…] that is actually why I have been studying primate/primitive human behavior > often offers insights into human behavior that we bespectacled apes overlook (as we are clearly demigods and not animals at all). Chimps are genetically geared to go to war over resources (as humans seem to be), Baboons create complex social hierarchy that is part genetic, but also part “culture.” There will never be a definitive Nature vs. Nurture decision, but the more I study it the more it seems that nature is the predominant factor.”

“Whatever is wild in you, whatever scares you, whatever makes your blood rush and your being buzz; whatever makes you “crazy”… protect it. Nurture it. That is the part that is truly yours. Do not let a process, a need to climb, your “status”, kill that. And be kind along the way.
Now more than ever we’ll need the ingenious and the brave. We’ll need a conscience and humanity. And if being true to that means you have to be a bit mad, then so be it.
Carry on wolves, carry on.” —

The entire post is incredible, but the last three paragraphs are pure inspiration!
“As I’ve noted before, one of the things Nigel Bogle used to say that resonated with me most during my time at BBH was ‘none of us is as good as all of us’. I think this remains spot on, but needs qualifying. It might be more accurate (if less elegant) to suggest that while none of us is as good as all of us, all of us might be more effective if we let some of us organize all of us properly. While process surely isn’t as glamorous as hiring big name rockstars, it’s actually even more important. Get the operating system right and the software will perform.”
