Carpe Diem: a máxima de Horácio pode ser lida de muitas maneiras. para alguns, quer dizer "aproveite a vida", divirta-se. Para outros, envolve a noção capitalista e empreendedora de fazer o máx de coisas em pouco tempo. Pra mim, é tornar-se senhor do seu tempo e produzir ou descansar de acordo com seus objetivos.

A ESTRATÉGIA IMPLICA, ENTRE OUTRAS COISAS, SELECIONAR RECURSOS, ENERGIA E PRIORIZAR TAREFAS. Estratégia é usar recursos limitados, tempo limitado e pessoal reduzido para atingir um objetivo. Se tivéssemos tudo em abundância infinita, não necessitaríamos de estratégia. A crise aumenta a necessidade dela.

A palavra estratégia tem raiz militar e grega. O estratego dirige a infantaria ou os arqueiros para onde serão mais necessários. Ele deve antecipar, criar o recurso disponível antes de ele ser necessário, especialmente no desenrolar de uma batalha rápida.

Pensamento estratégico trabalha com o real e projeta o ainda não ocorrido como uma possibilidade. Quanto mais eu consigo antecipar o tempo e adaptar a resposta às hipóteses, mais estratégico serei.

Toda crise passa, sempre. Não basta sobreviver, você precisa pensar na vida pós-crise.

Atitudes pessoais contam. Administração do tempo é uma das mais importantes. Tempo é um valor medido de forma objetiva, porém seu aproveitamento é a coisa mais subjetiva já surgida nas culturas.

Preparo intelectual, administração do tempo e cuidado com o corpo. Nada mais estratégico do que esse tripé. Acrescentarei mais um elemento. Parte do sucesso ou fracasso em qq atividade é a ADMINISTRAÇÃO DA NOSSA PERSONALIDADE.

A crise vem para todos como ventania, a estratégia torce os ventos para que a sua vela se enfune.

Que de bons pais brote felicidade e de maus pais, pelo menos, obras literárias.

In this business, you never say no to anything.

Change comes with both fear and some pain. Those two ingredients create mistrust, misunderstanding and misinformation. Such is the process of democracy.

We are still looking for opportunities in plantation, in palm oil. When it is bad, you want to buy because, in the long term, I am confident that plantation is a good bet. To me, it is always in demand; there is no substitute yet for palm oil.

The border is way more porous than it should be and I think wed be open to discussing anything that enhances border security.

Marriage seems to be predicated on protecting a very deep and intimate form of mystery.

Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.

I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.

If Congress doesn't raise taxes, you cannot get a private investment account without forgoing a portion, possibly all, of your guaranteed benefit check.

My most memorable moment came in 1985 as we beat the Boston Celtics.

I've honestly fallen in love with a man and I've honestly fallen in love with a woman. I don't know how you label that, it's just how it is.

It's tiring to be asked the same questions all day long: 'What is Gangnam style?' and 'Teach me how to dance.'

Society may be likened to a rod, which only a just government can balance properly.

Bullies like him were only strong while assured of victory; when faced with anyone more powerful, they turned into fawning sycophants, desperate to prove themselves.

I used to be so aggressive, but after a while I started learning. It's not that I know how to adapt, but I know all styles of fighting so I can change my style of fighting to whatever it needs to be. That just comes from years of training and a lot of sparring partners.

Out of moderation a pure happiness springs.

First a piece of Irish wisdom: you should always listen to a bookie. For they have a saying, 'Money tells a good story,' and somewhere in their odds is a kind of science-fiction existentialism that decrees that we, the people, know everything. In other words, betting patterns often make for good, unconscious soothsaying.

For email, the old postcard rule applies. Nobody else is supposed to read your postcards, but you'd be a fool if you wrote anything private on one.

There is so much to be gained from adulthood! Feelings just become so much deeper. The feeling of sadness and loss is much deeper than when you were a kid, but the feelings of love and happiness have also so much more dimension when you get older... That is what's so hard and exciting about being a human being.

Franschhoek Valley was, in recent memory, a simple place with some notable vineyards and two or three streets of Victorian cottages and a few older, thatched houses. The valley was settled early in the 1680s by Huguenots fleeing repression.

Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.

Dancers are made, not born.

The fate of animals is of far greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous.

Somewhere out there the world must have an end.

The success of every single woman is the inspiration for another.
