"We overestimate what we can do in one year and underestimate what we can do in ten years, which is why long-term focus creates discipline instead of pressure."

"The ability to concentrate is a trainable skill, developed over time through curiosity and sustained attention, before it is applied to world-changing work."

"I had monomaniacal focus, giving up weekends and vacations never felt like a sacrifice because I genuinely believed computers would become mainstream and loved working toward that future."

"Technology progress depends on consistent effort."

"Monday focus reduces technical debt."

"Monday is for strengthening the core, not chasing trends."

"A calm Monday improves decision quality."

"Tech leaders use Monday to think deeply."

"Tech progress depends on steady Mondays, not bursts of energy."

"Failure may slow you down, but it also sharpens your focus."
