If you don't have a real stake in the new, then just surviving on the old - even if it is about efficiency - I don't think is a long-term game.
Satya NadellaRead
You renew yourself every day. Sometimes you're successful, sometimes your not, but it's the average that counts.
Interpretation
Personal growth and progress are achieved daily, regardless of individual successes or failures.
This quote emphasizes the importance of daily renewal and personal development.

If you don't jump on the new, you don't survive.
