BRAIN FOOD: A Single Mind
"You never realize that you are making a memory at the moment something is actually happening.
"Rose Kennedy once told me that good luck is something you make and bad luck is something you endure, a very wise observation indeed. People do make their luck by daring to follow their instincts, taking risks, and embracing every possibility"
"I was single-minded in the pursuit of my dream."
"If we had to please investors, we'd have stringent financial controls, we'd have to explain and justify every decision. That would be bad business for people who rely on strong feelings about what's right rather than on black and white "facts," which often turn out to be false. If you're your own boss, you can move fast. When ideas have to be implemented overnight, speed, flexibility, and authority to make decisions without consulting shareholders are of utmost importance."
An extract from Estée Lauder's biography Estée: A Success Story
SOUL FOOD:
“Anybody can play. The note is only 20 percent. The attitude of the motherfucker who plays it is 80 percent.”
Miles Davis

APPENDIX:
“Every day, you face tasks that range from easy and comfortable to difficult and meaningful. The problem is, we often procrastinate on the hard but impactful tasks and instead spend time on things that feel productive but don’t deliver real results. The solution? ‘Eat the frog.’ The “frog” represents the task that is most important but often uncomfortable or challenging. Eating it first ensures you’re making progress on what truly matters before distractions take over.”
