"People who get obsessive about details tend not to be very creative. . .Serendipity is just a fancy word for luck. Let me tell you: Luck favors the prepared mind. . .Preserving the species is more important than preserving the self. So what matters most in life is preserving your relationships with others. . .What differentiates the men from the boys is that men have vision."

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend."
