“Mistakes can be avoided when you start asking the right questions. The more complicated the problem, the more crucial it is that you learn the skill of identifying what problem you are trying to solve and holding tight to that clarity amidst the disruptions of everyday life. If you want more time, learn not to waste time on the wrong problems. If you want more energy, learn to solve problems that have solutions. If you want more money, learn to focus on solutions that can get you more money. The success of your future and the future of those around you is absolutely determined by your ability to develop the habits of an outstanding decision maker. And you can’t make the right decision if you aren’t solving the right problem.”

“Jack the Giant Slayer needs to be cunning. He needs to be able to analyse giants and detect their weakness and vulnerabilities. He must work out his giant-killing tactics. The holy grail for the giant slayers is the mind. The giants can control the body. They can get the physically best players. What they can’t get is the mentally best players, i.e. the most resilient, robust, fastest-thinking, the best leaders, the most composed, and so on. That’s because they can see the body and not the mind. What they can’t see, they are much shakier on. That’s where small teams have so much scope. Their task is to find mentally better players, more consistent, more able to work in a team, more able to cope with changing circumstances. The sky’s the limit for mental footballers versus physical footballers. It’s time for mental Moneyball, for psychological football – for Sun Tzu and Clausewitz footballers. Jack can outsmart the giants. They’re very big and very rich, but not very smart. It’s time to bring them down and take control of the golden goose. Come on guys, let’s get this revolution started. Let’s beat the odds. It’s time for our day in the sun, lifting the big trophy!”
― Jim Leigh, Slaying the Football Giants: How Small Teams Can Succeed

“There are many lies being spread fast and deeply to the hearts and minds of many people and corrupting their chances of overcoming challenges and difficulties. Many of the deceptions consist of pressuring already manifesting tendencies and impulses like the need to fight, compete and survive. But you cannot win this way. Nobody does. You can only win when you focus on yourself and your own path. Without discipline, focus and consistency you have nothing, not even the power to control your own mind.”
― Dan Desmarques

“Many people do not understand the art of winning and this has been the case for many centuries.
There was once a Shaolin monk who was constantly being challenged to fight. He always won, even against the angriest and strongest fighters, because they could not understand that technique is always superior to personal will and expectations.
Some of the men noticed his skill and asked to be trained with him, and once their technique was good enough, they would try to defeat him. But the monk would defeat them instead because they could not understand that experience is always superior to technique.
As the monk grew older, he did not desire to fight anymore, and so many men would insult him. But the monk was still winning, because they could not understand that they were wasting an opportunity to learn and the monk did not desire to waste the little time he had left on earth.
Before he died, the monk wrote a few manuscripts with his wisdom, but few were capable of understanding his words because their spirit was not ready. They were still thinking about winning. And so they lost everything, they lost the opportunity to develop a new technique, gain experience, study and understand how to win.”
― Dan Desmarques

― Jeff Pearlman, The Bad Guys Won!
