“Life, I've found, works the following way: Daily, you're presented with many small and surprising opportunities. Sometimes you seize one that takes you to the top. Most, though, if valuable at all, take you only a little way. To succeed, you must string together many small incremental advances-rather than count on hitting the lottery jackpot once.”
“Every significant advance I or my company has ever made has been evolutionary rather than revolutionary: small earned steps-not big lucky hits.”
