Douglas Merrill quotes:

With too little data, you won't be able to make any conclusions that you trust. With loads of data you will find relationships that aren't real... Big data isn't about bits, it's about talent.

Learn the difference between striving for excellence and striving for perfection. The first is attainable; the second is not.

The way you think you spend your time and the way you actually spend your time are rarely the same.

Managing your time really means managing yourself. If your time is out of control, it means you are out of control.

Time is more than just a work issue; it's also a life issue. The way you spend your time defines the life you life.

Time is life. To waste your time is to waste your life.

A habit is good if it helps you achieve your goal; it is bad if it hinders your achievement.

Many people assume that they can probably find many ways to save time. This is an incorrect assumption for it is only when you focus on spending time that you begin to use your time effectively.

There is a time to deliberate... and a time to act. Learn to recognize which is which, and act accordingly.

Recognize that there is a time to be left-brained and a time to be right-brained; a time to be efficient and a time to be creative; a time to work and a time to play.

The key to willpower is "want-power". If U want something strongly enough, U will find the discipline necessary to do it.

Many of us spend more time on the C's of life than on the A's of life. Don't allow trivial things to crowd out the important ones.

Big data isnâ??t about bits, itâ??s about talent.

You're the key barrier to your organization's innovation, because you are serious and you believe you know what your customers want.
