success

In order to succeed it is not necessary to be much cleverer than other people. All you have to do is be one day ahead of them.

Leó Szilárd, quoted in Leo Szilard, “I'm looking for a market for wisdom”, Life, vol. 51, no. 9, 1961, pp. 75, p. 75

[U]no de los secretos del “éxito” reside en empezar por adoptar posiciones bien establecidas dentro de un grupo o escuela, y luego proceder a modificarlos, por radicalmente que sea.
