Yes, process and preparations are the most important for me as a player. If preparations are not great, that tends to affect performance. When preparations are perfect you are not searching for results but only counting on performance.

Ajinkya Rahane

It's a lifelong failing: she has never been prepared. But how can you have a sense of wonder if you're prepared for everything? Prepared for the sunset. Prepared for the moonrise. Prepared for the ice storm. What a flat existence that would be.

Margaret Atwood

Unless you're prepared to make a mistake, you'll never do anything that hasn't been done before. You have to be prepared to be embarrassed.

When the enemy's envoy's speak in humble terms, but continues his preparations, he will advance. When their language is deceptive but the enemy pretentiously advances, he will retreat. When the envoys speak in apologetic terms, he wishes a respite. When without a previous understanding the enemy asks for a truce, he is plotting. When the enemy sees an advantage but does not advance to seize it, he is fatigued.

Sun Tzu

You never know when you're going to get your next fight, so you have to just stay in shape, mentally and physically and creatively.

Michael Rapaport

One who speaks deferentially but increases his preparations will advance. One who speaks belligerently and advances hastily will retreat.

Sun Tzu

In-person town halls generally require a commitment several weeks in advance - a commitment my office is not prepared to make given the full schedule of the Senate and the duties attendant to service there.

Thom Tillis

Paul Stamets

... All these preparations clearly show that a human being must perfect himself in the physical world through his magical development in order to be prepared for the higher astral world after death.

Franz Bardon

We keep hearing how qualified Hillary Clinton is. She's well prepared to be president, more exposure to the president than anybody else. Hillary Clinton is the most prepared to be impeached in advance of any presidential candidate America has ever had!
