“All creativity is saying, ‘What if I try this?’ But really all it is, is the first step on the way to feedback, right?” – Ernie Svenson

“You control what you think about. As much as you can, and that’s a full-time job… focus it on the thing that you actually stand a chance to control.” – Ernie Svenson

“Nobody’s trying to trick you. You’re trying to trick you, right? You’re the only one who’s going to suffer from choosing the worst thing or the most difficult question.” – Sheila M. Wilkinson
