“ The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
“ You have to be willing to take risks.” “ You can’t be a leader without being a good follower.” “ You have to be able to make decisions with incomplete information.” “ The only thing we know is that we know nothing.” “ It’s easier to get into something than to get out of it.” “ You can’t just sit back and wait for things to happen.” “ The unknowns are what you have to worry about.” “ If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.” “ In the end, it’s about making choices.” |

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
But there are also unknown unknowns; there are things we do not know we don't know. You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we know we do not know. |
