1) "Mathematics is the language of nature." Consider the Fibonacci series and how it applies across multiple domains. Mathematics is at the core of the "Four Factors" and changed the game

2) "Be present above all else." Listen. Master eye contact. Play present. "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." 

3) "Reading (learning) is the ultimate meta-skill and can be traded for anything else." Be a lifelong learner

4) "Truth is that which has predictive power." Organizations without strong culture usually fail. 

5) "Anger is a hot coal you hold in your hand while waiting to throw at someone else." (Buddha)  Anger is counter-productive. Remember Lincoln's "Hot Letters," which he "never signed, never sent." 

Lagniappe. What book(s) are you reading now? Still working on "Red Team" and have read a few chapters from "Anna Karenina" one of "100 Books Everyone Should Read." Notorious readers include Coach George Raveling, Steve Kerr, Mike Neighbors, Gregg Popovich, and Brad Stevens.
