Best notes:
"I have come to believe that no attribute is more important to success than curiosity, though it is equaled by perseverance, self-efficacy, and passionate purposefulness."
"always look inside before buying a book, focusing on the table of contents and index to see what the book contains."
"Stop and think about what you read, about the author and where they live and what they have done, what their bias is likely to be."
"Amazon’s “Look Inside” feature can be a huge help"
"The most important pages to grasp are the table of contents. If the book is well organized, this is a list of the key ideas in the book. Stop and take time on the table of contents. Some textbooks even contain a summary table of contents followed by a more detailed table of contents, taking more time to digest but proving worthwhile. Stop and think about each chapter title – what do I think that means? Is that a subject I already know something about – or think I know something about? Am I surprised to see that concept in this book? And as I do all this, I give myself the freedom to jump into the book, a revolutionary thought for many readers."
"The book is your book, you have begun a conversation with the author, and you should feel free to interrupt, skip around, and ask questions at any time. If you give yourself this freedom, you will be amply rewarded."
"Make sure you thoroughly grasp the table of contents, make sure you have a crystal clear idea of what the author will tell you in the book"
"We all remember huge amounts of information. It is just a matter of what engages and intrigues us, and how well we connect it to everything else we know.)"
"(It has been said that intelligence is not about knowing everything, but about knowing where to find everything.)"
"We learn in five ways. 1) Study 2) Conversation 3) Observation 4) Experimentation 5) Cogitation"
"You cannot know where you are going unless you know where you are coming from."
"Efficient search is an art form, and most people are not very good at it."
"books continue to be among the best values that we can spend money on."
"Carol Dweck’s Mindset is one of the most important books one can read if you want to continually evolve, grow, and improve."

"The more we think about our ideas, the more we bounce them off people, the stronger they become."
"The first task of the thinking person is to separate out what is meaningful from what is meaningless."
"What we remember depends on what we find interesting."
"“The master key to knowledge is to keep asking questions.”—Abelard"
"The secret of success is seeing something nobody else sees."
"But the more specialized we become, the greater our need for leaders who can help bring unity to our efforts. We need people who can think, write, and speak with clarity and conviction, people who can relate to and motivate accountants and salespeople, nurses and electrical engineers, systems analysts and social workers."
"great games take a few minutes to learn and a lifetime to master"
"Breakthrough innovations most often come from combining two ideas that everyone sees every day but no one has put together (yet)."
"Many times, the best ideas come from two sources: Looking for gaps in the present structure. Looking for intersections."
