Page 214 the gift of abundance is what I consider the key to all other qualities and values that make our lives in our children's lives so fulfilling. It allows us to view the world as a place of endless choices. Endless opportunities endless chances, endless growth. There is always another day and another way. It is a way of approaching the world in degrees of strength, instead of degrees of weakness, of living with degrees of love, and goodness, instead of degrees of fear. I am enormously grateful to my parents for this gift. It has been an incredible advantage me all my life, especially in business. If one deal doesn't work out, I know another will. When I remember, there is abundance in this world, I can leave what looks like a losing situation, and ask myself, what can I learn from this? And what kind of value can we all receive from this? If I forget to focus on abundance, I bombarded myself with questions like Now it's going to happen question, how did I mess up? When I drift away from this concept, the whole world, suddenly flip-flops from bright to dark, from enthusiasm to lethargy, from optimism to fear.

In the book

On his first day at Goldman Sachs, a young recruit was told by a partner to be “long-term greedy” — a phrase worth a whole career. Carry an abundance mindset while you're at it: if one deal doesn't work out, another will, which frees you to walk away from a losing situation and simply ask, what can I learn here? And a few of the rules I've collected over a lifetime, worth more than their length. — Leadership & Business (Leadership/Business)
