The INPowered are absolutely clear about what values and ideals are so important to them that they will hold fast to that conviction no matter how terrifying the consequences might be.

We prefer to hear from those who have accomplished something rather than from those who are planning to.

A different way to know gives us a different way to understand. And a different way to understand gives us a different understanding of our world and those with whom we share it.

The most brilliant people in the world are the first to admit how little they know in the grand scheme of things. But the fool scorns wisdom.

Some people relish their routines. No variation, no variety, and no exceptions. Change is too risky to venture. Some people relish variety. They would say, “variety is the spice of life.”
