weakness lies in
giving up.

14. Anti-Fragile
“Some things benefit
from shocks; they thrive
and grow when exposed
to volatility, randomness,
disorder, and stressors
and love adventure, risk,
and uncertainty.
...Yet, there is no word
for the exact opposite of
fragile.
Let us call it antifragile.”
Antifragile: Things that Gain from
Disorder - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Anti-Fragile by N. N. Taleb
15. « I will adapt. »
« Many change projects fail, and the most commonly cited reason is neglect of the human dimensions of
change.
This neglect often centres around a lack of insight into why people are unhappy
with organisational change, a poor appreciation of the process of change,
and a limited knowledge of the tools and techniques that are available to help. »
16. “If about everything top-down
fragilizes and blocks antifragility
and growth,
everything bottom-up
thrives under the right amount of
stress and disorder.”
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
18. “The antifragile
loves randomness
and uncertainty,
which also means,
crucially, a love of
errors, a certain
class of errors.”
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb

23. “Entrepreneurs
….believe in a yet-to-be-
made future [to be]
shaped by human
action; and they realize
…they need not expend
energies trying
to predict it.”
~ Assoc.Professor
Saras Saravathy
25. “But while my inner
voice was clearly
telling me I was at
my core an
entrepreneur, it's
inconvenient to
decide at twenty-
three that you can't
really work for other
people.”
― Kelly Cutrone, If You Have
to Cry, Go Outside: And Other
Things Your Mother Never Told
You

26. “Youngsters want to
change world. Elders
want to enjoy their
works.
The entrepreneur
sells anything
needed by both to
win their desires.”
~ Toba Beta,
Master of Stupidity
