Originals are nonconformists, people who not only have new ideas but take action to champion them. They are people who stand out and speak up. Originals drive creativity and change in the world. They're the people you want to bet on.
In the conversation about women in leadership, male voices are noticeably absent.

Some of the greatest moments in human history were fueled by emotional intelligence.
The more important argument against grade curves is that they create an atmosphere that's toxic by pitting students against one another. At best, it creates a hypercompetitive culture, and at worst, it sends students the message that the world is a zero-sum game: Your success means my failure.
Takers believe in a zero-sum world, and they end up creating one where bosses, colleagues and clients don't trust them. Givers build deeper and broader relationships - people are rooting for them instead of gunning for them.
The mark of higher education isn't the knowledge you accumulate in your head. It's the skills you gain about how to learn.
The culture of a workplace - an organization's values, norms and practices - has a huge impact on our happiness and success.
I have two rules for a great book: make me think and make me smile.

Bragging about yourself violates norms of modesty and politeness - and if you were really competent, your work would speak for itself.
When takers talk about mistakes, they're usually quick to place the blame on other people. Givers are more likely to say 'Here's the mistake I made; I learned the following from it. Here are the steps I'm taking to make sure I don't let people down in the future.'
It's ironic that when you go through a tragedy, you appreciate more. You realize how fragile life is and that there are so many things to still be thankful for.
