Ray Dalio, Investor & Founder of Bridgewater Associates
Great managers aren’t just thinkers, entertainers, or doers—they are engineers. They see their organizations as machines and work relentlessly to improve them. They map out processes, measure performance, and refine both systems and people to maximize results.
Warren Buffett, Investor & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway
Warren Buffett once told me he looks for companies "run by painters." He explained that great artists struggle to let go of their work—they’re always adding a touch here, refining a detail there. He seeks leaders who see their companies as masterpieces-in-progress, constantly tweaking and improving, no matter how successful they become. At Berkshire Hathaway, he calls it a museum of masterpieces—but expects the artists to keep painting.
James Clear, Author of Atomic Habits
“What can’t you stop refining and improving? That’s where your edge lies—not in the finish line, but in the obsession with getting better every day.”
“What can’t you stop refining and improving? That’s where your edge lies—not in the finish line, but in the obsession with getting better every day.”
My Take:
Pick a mission that lasts, something big enough to grow into. Train your mind to focus on who you’re becoming along the way—not just what you’ll get out of it. Dalio engineers systems, Buffett paints masterpieces, and Clear refines endlessly. The real win? You evolve through the work
