I have discovered a formula for success. Success with any goal you want to achieve, in any field, whether large or small. The formula is: intuition + inspiration + initiative = innovation. I call it the 4
i's.
Innovation can actually be the beginning or the end. You can start the process knowing you need to innovate, knowing what solution you want, but needing the steps to get there. Or you can start the process by listening to your intuition, not knowing where it is leading you and following the formula to achieve innovation as an end result. Only it's not really the end. It actually is a beginning, because once you innovate, that will lead to new projects, new inspirations and you will continue. So it is a moving, breathing process that actually never has to stop.
This book is a compilation of quotes relating to each phase of the 4i's. Some are from others, with my comments, some are mine.
This book is not meant to be read through at one or even several sittings. Ideally, read just one quote a day. Reflect on it. Apply it to yourself, even if it means changing some of the words to fit your particular situation. By the time you are finished reading all the quotes it is my wish that you will be more in tune with how to apply the 4i’s in your life and therefore closer to taking steps forward towards your success.

won’t regret it.

destiny to fulfill. Nick
Williams

Diem.

and satiated.

hundred griefs.
Chinese Proverb
Loss of a loved one is an
opportunity to reflect upon
the time and the memories
you were afforded; it’s not a

philosophy is that a
man should so live
