Things happen to us in unpredictable ways, but the effect that that has on the kind of people who we become actually is not only open to chance - we can influence it in pretty profound ways.

I believe that we can, in a deliberate way, articulate the kind of people we want to become.

Clayton M. Christensen Quotes
