- In fact, we're sometimes most likely to turn away from things precisely because of the threat that they represent to us, in business, life and the world. 

- And unfortunately, the less control that we think we have, the more likely we are to downplay it or ignore it entirely.

- I've found that the people who are wiling to recognize the problems around them and make plans are the ones who are able to tolerate more risk, good risk, and deal with the bad risk. And it's because as we seek information, we increase our power to do something about the things that we're afraid of.

- If you don't see what's in front of you, you're not dumb, you're not ignorant, you're human. And once we all recognize that shared vulnerability, that gives us the power to open our eyes, to see what's in front of us and to act before we get trampled.
