89 sophisticated cliches that business people should know by heart (src:forbes)

It’s a paradigm shift = I don’t know what’s going on in our business. But we’re not making as much money as we used to.
We’re data-driven = We try not to make decisions by the seat of our pants. When possible, we try to base them in facts.
We need to wrap our heads around this = Gosh, I never thought of that. We need to discuss that….
It’s a win-win = Hey, we both get something out of this (even though I’m really trying to get the best from you)

There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
There is no editing stage.
Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it.
Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
Once you're done you can throw it away.
Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.

Humble leaders
Right people on the bus
Confront facts (ability to see facts beforehand)
Focus: Money, skills
Dedication: Rinsing your cottage cheese and closing doors of what you don't really want
Technology, otherwise equilibrium can not be leveraged
Super mix: idea combination

Do one thing at a time / Ah desire to keep the doors open
Know the problem / No happy ending
Learn to listen / Best thing I do
Learn to ask questions / Very related to the ability of writing good tests
Distinguish sense from nonsense / Don't be involved in the discussion of editors, instead find the optimal customization of your editor
Accept change as inevitable / The only thing doesn't change is change
Admit mistakes / Prepare interrupt handler
Say it simple / KISS and DRY
