The four stage of creativity by Graham Wallas :
1 – Preparation
2 – Incubation
3 – Illumination
4 – Verification
I think a mistake that we often make is to view learning as collecting, rather than connecting. You collect information, but you can only gain knowledge by connecting that information.
La règle des 72
La règle des 72 est une méthode pour estimer le temps de doublement d’un capital que l’on doit à Einstein. Si un capital est placé avec un taux de t% par an, il faut 72/t années pour le doubler. A 4% par an, il faut 18 ans, à 6% il faut 12 ans, à 10% il faut 7 ans, à 7% il faut 10 ans etc…
Et pour calculer exactement le temps nécessaire en années au doublement du capital : t = N / n = ln 2 / ln (1 + (n/100))
DURÉE ARRONDIE
1 % – 70 ans
2 % – 35 ans
3 % – 23 ans
4 % – 17,5 ans
5 % – 14 ans
6 % : 12 ans
7 % : 10 ans
8 % : 9 ans
9 % : 8 ans
10 % : 7 ans
Le mouvement créé la motivation

Planning is guessing
Unless you’re a fortune-teller, long-term business planning is a fantasy. There are just too many factors that are out of your hands: market conditions, competitors, customers, the economy, etc. Writing a plan makes you feel in control of things you can’t actually control.
Why don’t we just call plans what they really are: guesses. Start referring to your business plans as business guesses, your financial plans as financial guesses, and your strategic plans as strategic guesses.

Working more doesn’t mean you care more or get more done. It just means you work more.
Jason Fried – Rework
Genius: one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration
Appreciate the journey toward your goal/s, rather than treating it as something only to be endured.
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein
Every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Vendez moi ce stylo
Vanter le besoin auquel le produit répond plutôt que les caractéristiques techniques
Why do we work 8–9 hours a day so that we can earn free time, while we endlessly waste that hard-earned free time?
We are not given a short life but we make it short.
Darius Foroux
My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.
Peter Drucker
Juge un homme par ses questions plutôt que par ses réponses.
Voltaire
You don’t have an innate passion that you should “follow,” instead, your passion follows you.
Benjamin P. Hardy
Memento Mori
When you close your hands slightly, most people will see the letter M begin to form in the folds of their skin. In the Middle Ages, monks began their days by staring at those Ms on their palms while meditating on two Latin words: Memento Mori.
Remember you must die.
It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Conversation : The Three Postures
Master, student or peer.
The key is to be able to go into peer posture with anyone. The young intern, the big boss, the politician, the cleaner. Anyone. Better: being able to go into “master” with people with more social status or a higher hierarchical position, and into “student” with people with less social status or a lower hierarchical position.
Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
