Ken Griffin on how obsession wins:

“If you’re not passionate about the field you’re engaged in you won’t have the grit or perseverance to compete with those who are.”

Commitment issues aren’t about the options. They’re about the operator.

A puzzle has well-defined rules and a single solution, and we know when we have reached that solution. Puzzles deliver the satisfaction of a clear-cut task and a correct answer.

“You can’t change your past, but you can reframe it.

Find the lesson in it. Find the opportunity in it. Pull the teachable moment out of it and share with others.

You can’t choose your history, but you can choose the story you tell about it.”
