What's one quote from a move or a book that changed your life forever?

I'll go first: Mine's from Winston Churchill, though I first encountered it in a biography I read - ""Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."" This quote hit me like a ton of bricks. It completely reframed how I view setbacks and challenges. Instead of seeing failures as endpoints, I now see them as stepping stones. It's not about avoiding failure, it's about maintaining your drive and passion through the ups and downs.

I’ll start first: “The greats never sacrifice the important for the urgent. They handle the immediate problem and still make sure to secure the future.”

Looking for suggestions. If you had to recommend one book to anyone that you think transformed your life in a good way which book would it be ? I will go first - it's difficult to pick single one so here we go. 1. atomic habits 2. Siddhartha

Add yours to the thread! Mine is “Everybody is a wh*re, we just sell different parts of ourselves”

Personally, Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. The concept of Antifragility, where systems and individuals not only withstand chaos but actually benefit from it, had reshaped my perspective on risk, resilience, and adaptability. It is extremely complementary to the writings of Marcus Aurelius but differing in key ways. While both Antifragility and Stoicism encourage resilience in the face of adversity, they approach it differently. Stoicism emphasizes inner calm and acceptance of what cannot be changed, while Antifragility encourages actively seeking out challenges and volatility to grow stronger. For me, the blend of these philosophies provides a more holistic approach to navigating life's uncertainties, combining the wisdom of the ancient Stoics with a proactive stance toward embracing chaos and harnessing it for personal growth.
