Everything looks like a failure in the middle.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

The middle of every successful project looks like a disaster.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

A basic truth of management - if not of life - is that nearly everything looks like a failure in the middle.

There is failure in every industry; there is failure in every step. It's just that we are working in an industry where everything is just out there; that is why it looks so magnified. But failure is a part of life.

Yami Gautam

When you start off, you have to deal with the problems of failure. You need to be thickskinned, to learn that not every project will survive.

Neil Gaiman

I sign on to any project because of the director: because they won't change, and you've got to feel confident that you're in good hands, in their vision.

Sam Worthington

I came from a Sorkin-like project in the sense that there was no freedom to change a line, which, in a weird way, is its own freedom because you're living within that structure and know this is what it is. You just adjust. Every project has its own personality.

Lauren Graham

When you found a company, you have the original vision, you make all the original decisions, you know every employee, you kind of know every aspect of the product architecture and its limitations.

Ben Horowitz

Some say we should not engage in activism. Instead we should leave everything to our politicians and just vote for a change instead. But what do we do when there is no political will? What do we do when the politics needed are nowhere in sight?

Greta Thunburg

I'm full of self-doubt. I doubt everything I do. Everything I do is a failure.

John Banville

At first, I didn't like coming down to Los Angeles at all. It's like, everything's black and white compared to where I live out in the middle of nowhere. There's, like, 400 people in my town!

Max Thieriot

Vision looks inwards and becomes duty. Vision looks outwards and becomes aspiration. Vision looks upwards and becomes faith.

Stephen Samuel Wise

Vision is the Source and hope of life. The greatest gift ever given to mankind is not the gift of sight, but the gift of vision. Sight is a function of the eyes; vision is a function of the heart. ‘Eyes that look are common, but eyes that see are rare.’ Nothing noble or noteworthy on earth was ever done without vision.

Myles Munroe

If then, at this great distance, our human vision can discern that sight, why, pray, are we to think that the divine splendor of the stars can be cast into darkness?

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio

The fundamental vision hasn't changed. What does change is how you get there, because there are still problems you have to figure out.

Maelle Gavet

Now individual consciousness, as typified in human beings, has great advantages and great disadvantages. Individuality means a narrowing, and narrowness can be useful. It is good for close-up work. We have invented the magnifying glass and the microscope to narrow our vision, because narrowness makes for precision. But narrowness also makes for a failure of purpose, for exhaustion of the will; for purpose depends upon a broad vision, a clear sight of one's objective.

Colin Wilson
