- Reading others' shorthand notes forces you to use creative associations.
- Sometimes long dissertations can take away from your imagination and stifle your ability to draw your own conclusions. No one should ever take away your ability to draw your own conclusions.
- The potency of your thinking comes from how you interpret things, based on a mental framework you have been shaping all your life through your own experiences, not your ability to "make up things."
- People have the wrong idea about understanding others. It's not how much they know about you but how much you know about them knowing about you.
- Let's not pretend that all of our thoughts, trivial and great, are for posterity's sake. Let's realize that they are.

Useful Tips from Segment from Strategy Elite's point of view: Jay Baer encourages marketers to stop taking a desperate approach to marketing. Many marketers only go after the "immediate close", which ignores a wide market of people who are not interested right now but will be in the future. Bruce calls this phase, "pre-conversion", in which the focus lies in the process of getting customers to become aware of someone's service for the day that they will need it.
Terms, sayings:
