Future

“You can and should shape your own future; because if you don’t someone else surely will.”

— Joel Barker

Learning

Only those who have learned a lot are in a position to admit how little they know.

— L. Carte

Thinking

“Isn’t it strange that while we pay so much attention to quality, we do not yet pay attention to the quality of our thinking.”

— Edward de Bono
