3-2-1: The paradox of risk, choosing the future, and treating the Earth well

In honor of Earth Day, which happened earlier this week, a Native American proverb to consider:

“Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.”

“You choose the future with your actions each day.”

“The paradox of risk:

(1) Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you lose the basket, you lose it all.

(2) Don't put your eggs in too many baskets. The more baskets you manage, the less energy you can put into each one. It's risky to do things halfway.

Diversified, but focused.”

“The best way to get the attention and respect of exceptional people is to do exceptional work.

Like attracts like.”
