‘Today, we need to fundamentally change the software of our mental and instinctual programming from one based on threat and survival to one of promise and prosperity.’
‘Our future is not cast in stone. It is a malleable and dynamic fabric of amazing potentialities, possibilities, and probabilities. And every passing moment is an opportunity for our intervention.’
‘Every act is an irrevocable selection and inclusion. In other words, by making the deliberate choice- or allowing others to make the choice for us- we determine the future state!
‘If the world were perfect, it would be. Problems are life’s essential feedstock. Without problems to solve, there is no motivating tension; without tension, there is no progress; without progress, there is only stagnation.’
‘The minute you believe something is impossible, it becomes impossible for you. I believe that there are very few problems that can’t be solved with imagination, innovation, and competent entrepreneurship- provided they don’t break too many laws of physics.’
‘People tend to get caught up in seeing the world only as it is and not imagining what the world could be. If you focus only on what the world is, then you are resigning yourself to a particular destiny.’
‘People often say the sky is the limit. The sky is not the limit. There is no such limit. It is an articficial boundary. Imagination is our only limit.‘
‘All the transformation we need is available on demand as a function of our search. Today that works requires an intermediary- a mobile phone or computer that connects us to information. Tomorrow we may not require the intermediary.’
‘Our curiosity doesn’t die out, it is wiped out. Consequently, as would-be moonshot entrepreneurs, it’s likely that we’ll have a little rehabilitation to do.’
‘Curiosity doesn’t care about comfort. Curiosity has no fear of the unknown. Curiosity is precisely about being drawn to novel things because they are new and strange and unknown.’
