“I apply the tools of econometrics a few times
a year, but I apply my knowledge of the
purpose of my life every day. It’s the single
most useful thing I’ve ever learned. I promise
my students that if they take the time to figure
out their life purpose, they’ll look back on it as
the most important thing they discovered at
HBS. If they don’t figure it out, they will just
sail off without a rudder and get buffeted in
the very rough seas of life. Clarity about their
purpose will trump knowledge of activity-
based costing, balanced scorecards, core
competence, disruptive innovation, the four
Ps, and the five forces.”

“If I had not been in prison I would not
have been able to achieve the most
diﬃcult task in life, and that is changing
yourself... Prison itself is a tremendous
education in the need for patience and
perseverance. It is above all a test of
one's commitment.”

NELSON MANDELA

Either way, they see a
breakthrough where no-

YOU TAKE THE BLUE PILL, THE STORY ENDS,
YOU WAKE UP IN YOUR BED AND BELIEVE
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BELIEVE. YOU
TAKE THE RED PILL, YOU STAY IN
WONDERLAND, AND I SHOW YOU HOW
DEEP THE RABBIT HOLE GOES.
MORPHEUS

“Invention, it must be
humbly admitted, does not
consist in creating out of
the void, but out of chaos;
the materials must, in the
ﬁrst place, be aﬀorded.”
MARY SHELLEY

“If I had to answer one song it would
have to be ‘Yesterday’ because it came
to me in a dream and because 3000
people are supposed to have recorded
it.
“That was entirely magical – I have no
idea how I wrote that. I just woke up
one morning and it was in my head. I
didn’t believe it for about two weeks.”

PAUL MCARTNEY

“In short, it is a question of
processes that, even if they
do not originate in the
heavens, certainly go
beyond our intention and
our control, acquiring - with
respect to the individual - a
kind of transcendence.”
ITALO CALVINO

“Much of the source, like an

DOUGLAS HOFSTADTER

“In the beginner's mind

SHUNRYU SUZUKI

“At the onset of every work, you

RAINER MARIA RILKE

“Experts can only give you
incremental evolution... if you’ve
never heard about a problem, [you
mind has to] work with a higher
level of neocortex.”

NAVEEN JAIN, BILLIONAIRE ENTREPRENEUR

“I have the feeling that I
don’t write my books, that
the story is somewhere
ﬂoating. My job is to be
quiet, to be silent and alone,
ready to tune into thoise

The story does not belong

The sage does not accumulate for himself.
The more he uses for others, the more he
has himself.
The more he gives to others, the more he
possesses of his own.
The Way of Heaven is to beneﬁt others and
not to injure.
The Way of the sage is to act but not to
compete.

TAO TE CHING, 81

CREATIVE SOLUTION

“‘I could have let hatred for this act
consume me. I could have curled up in
a ball and cried, asking, “Why me?” But
I didn’t. From the moment I was given
the option of choosing life, I made a
pact that if I did survive I would live a
full life, a good and rich life.”

GILL HICKS

“We who lived in the concentration
camps can remember the men who
walked through the huts comforting
others, giving away their last piece of
bread. They may have been few in
number but they oﬀer suﬃcient proof
that everything can be taken from a
man but one thing: the last of the
human freedoms – to choose one’s
attitude in any given set of
circumstances, to choose one’s own
way.”
