The most successful people are those who are good at plan B
Failure’s hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you’re successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise, money and opportunity can lock you in forever.
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change

If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less
Use goals to guide you, not govern youTreat goals as hypothesis
If there is nothing very special about your work, no matter how hard you apply yourself you won’t get noticed, and that increasingly means you won’t get paid much either
