All quotes by Daniel Burrus:

The move from scarcity thinking to abundance thinking, from zero-sum competition to one-hundred-sum collaboration, is not just a “nice” or “moral” idea. In the twenty-first century, it's plain good sense. Scarcity says, “I'm going to keep all my ideas to myself and sell more than anyone else.” Abundance says, “By mentoring, coaching, and sharing all our best ideas, we're going to create a powerful tide that raises all our ships-and we'll all sell more as a result".

Keeping up is a fool's game; seek advantage instead.

Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrity.

To thrive in this new age of hyper-change and growing uncertainty, it is now an imperative to learn a new competency - how to accurately anticipate the future.

I think all of us are looking at the future with yesterday's eyes.

Life is a journey. Part of that journey is not just using your talents, but trying to decide what is your gift and then directing your talents to support your gift so you can soar to new heights.

There’s no competitive advantage in being just like everyone else.

Information is power only if you can take action with it. Then, and only then, does it represent knowledge and, consequently, power.
