Strategy Quotes

“It was badly received by the generation to which it was first addressed, and the outpouring of angry nonsense to which it gave rise is sad to think upon. But the present generation will probably behave just as badly if another Darwin should arise, and inflict upon them that which the generality of mankind most hate—the necessity of revising their convictions. Let them, then, be charitable to us ancients; and if they behave no better than the men of my day to some new benefactor, let them recollect that, after all, our wrath did not come to much, and vented itself chiefly in the bad language of sanctimonious scolds. Let them as speedily perform a strategic right-about-face, and follow the truth wherever it leads.”

Accordingly, elevated anxiety does not predict relationship dissolution in longitudinal studies.

Like Odysseus, we are strapped to a journey, and along the way we will inevitably hear those calls.”

“In tech startups, the right FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) tools act as a steady compass, turning raw financial data into clear insights that guide founders through growth phases without losing direction.”

“A skilled strategist knows when to bide their time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike or exploit a weakness in their adversaries. Learn to cultivate patience, and use it to gather intelligence, assess the shifting landscape of influence, and prepare for the moments when decisive action is required.”
