FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

A BIAS FOR ACTION

"A key challenge for today’s companies – and for the individuals within them – is to build a culture of action . . .

If you want the future to be better than the present, you have to start working on it immediately.

Remember: What you want is better than, not optimal.

Your job is to do something today that’s better than what you did yesterday.

And to do something tomorrow that’s better than what you did today."


~ Jeffrey Pfeffer, Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business; also a monthly columnist for Business 2.0 magazine and the author of ten books – including, 'The Knowing-Doing Gap: How Smart Companies Turn Knowledge Into Action';
