14. Your First
Idea Is Just
The Starting
Point
An idea is like a block of smooth marble,
beautiful to the sight and to the touch.
However, the purpose of a block of smooth
marble is to be broken. Your job is to chisel
away the stuff that's not relevant in order to
reveal the true genius within.
- Michaelangelo

Discover
What We

What We
Don’t Know

don’t know

16. Find a need that beats your drum.
Create a plan, then make a dent.
Trust that your rewards will come.
And credit them as heaven sent.
- Peter Drucker
