"Sometimes things work out the way we intended. Sometimes you study accounting and become an accountant. Or maybe you play basketball as a kid and make it onto the varsity team. But the great successes, the ones that come crashing out of nowhere and shake up the system, they don’t usually follow this kind of script. You don’t enroll in Superstar 101 to become a superstar. There’s no magic formula for changing the world. In other words, the greatest victories are not written into the initial plans. They happen despite the plans."
