"You can talk all you want about having a clear purpose and strategy for your life, but ultimately this means nothing if you are not investing the resources you have in a way that is consistent with your strategy. In the end, a strategy is nothing but good intentions unless it's effectively implemented."

-- Clayton Christensen

They hover into the cinema in a kind of floating trance at how challenging and moving they are. They are films with a profound reluctance to get over themselves. They look up at the sceptical observer with the saucer-eyed saintliness of a baby seal in culling season, or a charity mugger smilingly wishing a nice day on the retreating back of a passer-by. One such is Babel.”
“God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us - in the dreariest and most dreaded moments - can see a possibility of hope.”
“I really hate it when I can’t score runs from a ball.”
“I don't get any money from my wife.”
