1. The first is you have to know what the right decisions to make are, and then you
2. have to have the courage to make them.
And most people don't have in their head the right decision. And I think one of the greatest
tragedies of man is that they hold onto opinions in their heads that are wrong, and they don't go
out there and stress test them.” Ray Dahlio Author of “Principles: Life and work”

28. Community & Open
innovation
“Closed business models are out. Open innovation is in. It’s simple. By inviting outside people in,
some of the smartest organizations in the world have learned to generate better ideas faster and more
