Je crois au flooding. -- Karim BAINA (en parlant du dailogue avec les administrations)

Opportunities that present themselves to you are the consequence -- at least partially -- of being in the right place at the right time. They tend to present themselves when you're not expecting it -- and often when you are engaged in other activities that would seem to preclude you from pursuing them. And they come and go quickly -- if you don't jump all over an opportunity, someone else generally will and it will vanish. -- Marc Andreessen (http://blog.pmarca.com/)

The best people and organizations have the attitude of wisdom: The courage to act on what they know right now and the humility to change course when they find better evidence.

Lewis

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. -- Eleanor Roosevelt

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. -- Thomas Jefferson
