3. “I had a Taco Bell audition where I had to wear a huge sombrero and walk around like an idiot. I got call-backs for the movie 'Twister,' did small independent stuff that I won't name. But it led to all my breakthrough moments on 'Entourage.'”
Mark Cuban
Audition, Acting, Breakthrough, Opportunities, Entertainment
5. “Now, once a quarter, the company sets aside an entire day when its engineers can work on any software problem they want – only this time, “to get them out of the day to day,” it must be something that’s not part of their regular job.” Daniel H. Pink Quarterly Focus, Software Innovation, Creative Problem-Solving, Engineers, Productivity, Breakthrough
8. “If I could snap my fingers and do one thing in science, I would get more funding for basic science. But the level of funding that needs to be done is not on the order of millions, like the cost of the Breakthrough Prizes. It's billions to tens of billions.” Mark Zuckerberg Science, Funding, Breakthrough, Research, Support
10. “A well-defined backup plan is sabotage waiting to happen. Why push through the dip, why take the risk, why blow it all when there’s the comfortable alternative instead? The people who break through usually have nothing to lose, and they almost never have a backup plan.” Seth Godin Backup Plan, Risk, Success, Commitment, Breakthrough
11. “All the outliers we’ve looked at so far were the beneficiaries of some kind of unusual opportunity. Lucky breaks don’t seem like the exception with software billionaires and rock bands and star athletes. They seem like the rule.” Malcolm Gladwell Outliers, Opportunity, Success, Luck, Breakthrough
