“The ultimate goal of this book is to share what I consider to be life-saving and life-changing lessons that I was fortunate enough to learn as a key participant in many of recent history’s most impactful events. The single most important lesson I learned, and the plain but powerful foundation that supports the entire book, is that the most effective weapon on any battlefield—whether it be combat, business, or life—is our mind’s ability to recognize life’s underlying patterns. Patterns of thinking, patterns of nature, and patterns of history are just a few of the infinite examples of life’s underlying patterns that inform the behavior of the complex world that swirls around us. Patterns reveal how the real world works. When recognized, they allow us to understand, adapt, and master the future as it unfolds in front of us.”

“Ljubav i strast nikada nisu bili isto, kao ni ljubav i zaljubljenost. Ljubav je stanje. Ona traje, raste i razvija se. Njeguje se poput najljepših orhideja, brižno se čuva i pazi. Rađa se u duši i kola poput krvi našim venama. Svugdje je ima, u nama, oko nas i daleko od nas. Ona traži, ali i daje. Podrazumijeva brigu i budnost. Svjesnost i mudrost. Razboritost i plemenitost. Podrazumijeva dobročinstvo, čednost, stid i vjernost. Podrazumijeva ona i čežnju i želju, žudnju i žar, ali nikada ne dozvoljava da oni postanu cilj. Ljubav podrazumijeva smiraj. Smiraj duše i tijela. I samo ako se daje – vrijedi i povećava se.”
