121 " Disrupt Yourself Or Be Disrupted is a book that provides you with ready-to-implement pragmatic blueprints for personal transformation, unconventional thinking and helps you look at the world through a fresh lens, one that turns assumptions and conventions upside down. "
― Nicky Verd , Disrupt Yourself Or Be Disrupted
122 " As we boldly enter the new decade, we need to make sure that we do so in a way that fosters individual talents and preserves the entrepreneurial spirit rising in Africa; as young people are rising as risk-takers, inventors, disruptors and thought leaders. "
123 " The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not about new Apps or new technologies. It is about a new era, new ways of thinking and new ways of doing business. "
124 " In the past, businesses were built on the brick and mortar model, transactions were done in triplicate, using carbon paper, and success was based on educational background and certificates. Fast forward to today. The internet, connectivity and emerging technologies have completely changed the game. To compete and survive in this new era requires a disruptive approach. "
125 " Take good care of relationships. God has never come down from heaven to do anything on earth by Himself. God works through men! God uses people to pour out blessings in your life. The person you despise today can be your saviour tomorrow. The answers to your prayers are locked in people. You cannot be praying for promotion at work yet trashing your Boss. You cannot be praying for success in life/business yet manipulating, using people, lying, cheating people every chance you get. Some relationships that could've blossom and brought more open doors, business referrals or better opportunities in future are killed prematurely because of quick/immediate gain. Destiny helpers don't come with white clothes and wings. "

126 " Luxury cannot cure poverty "
127 " If pain does not lead to growth and character, you have wasted your suffering. "
128 " The person who is never wrong is the person you should avoid. Real people have flaws. "
129 " Never feel guilty for wanting more out of life! "
130 " No one outside yourself can give you happiness or self-confidence. "
131 " You can borrow things and clothing from shops to look expensive and successful but remember that you cannot borrow personality or wisdom to look wise. Feed your mind! "
132 " Quintessential conglomerates are slashing away layers of management structures, breaking themselves up and automating processes. "
133 " Success is something you demand from yourself not from someone else "
134 " Learn from your history but don’t get mired in it. Don't build walls! Because the same wall that keeps pain out also keeps happiness out. The same wall that keeps bad people out also keeps the good ones out. The same wall that keeps disappointments out also keeps opportunities out. "
135 " As the Fourth Industrial Revolution continue to evolve, the winners will be those who are able to quickly adapt to change, upskill themselves and fully participate in entrepreneurship and innovation-driven ecosystems, providing new business models and ideas rather than those who can only bring certificates to the table or only offer low-skilled labor. "
136 " Certificates are no longer a guaranteed ticket to success. You can do more today with your life having just an internet connection; and that’s an opportunity our parents and grandparents never had. "
137 " Personal development is the vehicle through which success and economic growth travel "
138 " Pain is meant to produce purpose not kill it "
