Learning from the past without being anchored to it

Just because certain truths remain constant doesn’t mean strategies do too. Don’t equate the tradition of an era with a timeless truth.

Unquestioned authority was the standard tradition for a long, long time. It was time, and is time, for that tradition to change. But from that tradition we can retain a lot of truth — some good, some bad.

Learn how to see old truths executed through new strategies, emerging technologies, and innovative tactics. Move on from old customs and hold on to useful disciplines.

Embrace the chase. Do the work.
