Summary

This quote suggests that the emphasis on winning may not always be as significant as society makes it out to be. The speaker argues that winning is only crucial in critical situations such as surgery and war, where the outcomes directly impact lives and potentially save them. It implies that in other areas of life, there may be other valuable aspects that are often overlooked by society's obsession with winning, and therefore challenges the notion of winning as the ultimate goal in every context.

Famous pivot stories are often failures but you don't need to fail before you pivot. All a pivot is is a change is strategy without a change in vision. Whenever entrepreneurs see a new way to achieve their vision - a way to be more successful - they have to remain nimble enough to take it.

Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!
