Once in motion, a pattern tends to stay in motion.

Once in motion, a pattern tends to stay in motion.

Summary

This quote by Sir Isaac Newton's first law of motion implies that once something begins a certain pattern or behavior, it is likely to continue in that same pattern unless acted upon by an external force. It highlights the concept of inertia, suggesting that objects or systems have a natural tendency to remain in their current state unless a force compels them to change. Similarly, this quote can be applied to human behavior, indicating that once habits, routines, or patterns are established, they tend to persist unless some external influence or effort prompts a change.

It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived --forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward-looking position.

Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts.

Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine.
