Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
As Stalin, who knew something about the business of mortality, supposedly said, “One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic.” Statistics stay silent in us. Terrorism kills, but the biggest killer remains the environment, responsible for close to 13 million deaths annually. But terrorism causes outrage, which makes us overestimate the likelihood of a potential terrorist attack—and react more violently to one when it happens. We feel the sting of man-made damage far more than that caused by nature.

L’humilité est essentielle chez un dirigeant et modèle. Exprimez-vous avec modestie sur vos réussites, ou laissez les autres les mentionner à votre place. Mais quand on fait une bêtise, il faut le dire clairement, pour que tout le monde puisse apprendre et profiter de vos erreurs. En d’autres termes, « allez-y doucement avec vos succès, mais n’hésitez pas à clamer haut et fort vos erreurs ».
La Règle? Pas De Règles
