Umair Haque Quotes

• I'm firmly of the belief that your youth should be spent pursuing your passion - not just slightly, tremulously, haltingly, but unrelentingly, with a vengeance, to the max and then beyond. So dream laughably big - and then take an absurdly huge risk or two.

• Sigue tu pasión, nos dicen a menudo. Pero, ¿cómo encontrar tu pasión? Lo diré de otro modo: ¿qué es lo que te rompe el corazón del mundo? Es ahí donde empiezas a encontrar lo que te mueve. Si quieres encontrar tu pasión, ríndete a tu angustia. Tu desamor apunta hacia un norte más verdadero, y es el difícil viaje hacia él lo que, en el sentido más verdadero, no es un mero enamoramiento idílico pasajero, sino una pasión duradera y tempestuosa.

• Resumamos. ¿Qué es lo increíble? Lo asombroso ocurre cuando las personas que aman lo que hacen crean un valor espeso, real y significativo, lo añaden a cosas increíblemente geniales y lo multiplican por comunidades que están encantadas e inspiradas porque son auténticamente mejores. Es un tipo de innovación mejor, creada para la economía del siglo XXI.

  20 Copiar cita

• If you want to live a meaningfully better life, you're going to have to make the dangerous choice to dissent. A life lived meaningfully isn't denominated by digital friends, designer logos, or wads of paper notes. It's denominated by what you've lived, what it's worth to you, and what that's worth to humanity.

• We're richer, but that wealth doesn't reflect durable, authentic economic value - which is hitting fast diminishing returns. The growth that we're pursuing is neither sustainable - nor is it, in many ways, real growth at all. Boardrooms from finance to autos to energy to pharma to fashion have learned that the hard way.

• Yes, business really does change. 400 years ago, corporations were formed by royal decree. 300 years ago, many countries were powered by slave labour, or its closest moral equivalent. 200 years ago, debtors didn't go bankrupt, they went to prison. 100 years ago - well, business is largely the same as it was a century ago. And that's exactly the problem. Business hasn't changed, but today's array of tectonic global shocks demands a different, radically better kind of business. Yesterday's corporations visibly cannot meet today's economic challenges.

• The social [media channel] isn't about beauty contests and popularity contests. They're a distortion, a caricature of the real thing. It's about trust, connection, and community. That's what there's too little of in today's mediascape, despite all the hoopla surrounding social tools. The promise of the Internet wasn't merely to inflate relationships, without adding depth, resonance, and meaning. It was to fundamentally rewire people, communities, civil society, business, and the state — through thicker, stronger, more meaningful relationships. That's where the future of media lies.
