"What’s more crucial than not promoting the person who isn’t ready for one? The right kind of communication. Because this is where most managers fail to do their job. As the manager fails to communicate, the employees continue developing a chip on their shoulders with their unfulfilled wishes and desires. It amplifies every time they lose an opportunity to get promoted."

"Most people assume that lightbulb moment will arrive right away, when you’re feeling freshest. This illusion that creativity drops-off with time is self-defeating. The more people believe in it, the fewer creative ideas they generate. By giving up too soon, we risk leaving our best ideas on the table. Bringing attention to the problem can help people unlock new ways of thinking. If you’re struggling, keep going. Our intuitions about how this process works are wrong, and that our best ideas are there. They just require more digging."

"The truth is that the route to the positive runs through the negative. Those among us who are the most comfortable with negative experiences are those who reap the most benefits. It’s counterintuitive, but it’s also true. We often worry that if we become comfortable in our failures — that if we accept failure as an inevitable part of living — that we will become failures. But it doesn’t work that way. People who are confident in business are confident because they’re comfortable with failure. They realize that failure is simply part of learning how their market works. It’s a reflection of their lack of knowledge, not a reflection of who they are as a person."

Many of us, it seems, quit what we start far too early and far too often. Even more than the effort a gritty person puts in on a single day, what matters is that they wake up the next day, and the next, ready to get on that treadmill and keep going.
― Angela Duckworth
