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. Satya Nadella reminds us that life involves both successes and setbacks, but it is our overall consistency and average performance that truly matters. Embracing each day as an opportunity for growth allows us to focus on long-term development rather than fleeting achievements.
In practice
In a motivational speech about personal development, one might say, 'As Satya Nadella reminds us, you renew yourself every day, so don't be discouraged by setbacks.'
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.
You look at marketing: everything that's happening in marketing is digitized. Everything that's happening in finance is digitized. So pretty much every industry, every function in every industry, has a huge element that's driven by information technology. It's no longer discrete.
What matters is 'Have you done a better job of making our experiences feel like home on Windows?' That's our real goal, and that's what we're going to stay focused on.
If you don't jump on the new, you don't survive.
I want everyone inside of Microsoft to take that responsibility. This is not about top-line growth. This is not about bottom-line growth. This is about us individually having a growth mindset.
At Microsoft, we're aspiring to have a living, learning culture with a growth mindset that allows us to learn from ourselves and our customers. These are the key attributes of the new culture at Microsoft, and I feel great about how it seems to be resonating and how it's seen as empowering.
Virtue is an angel, but she is a blind one, and must ask Knowledge to show her the pathway that leads to her goal.
There's no point in being complete on the outside when you're broken in the inside.
I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.
We can never make ourselves better by trying... praying more or longer, studying more of the Word, performing good works, etc. Don't get me wrong... it's not bad to do any of these things. In fact, it's good. It's just that doing them in God's power is the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives.
