Favourite lines: We think in blocks, not in circles. Blocks get you from point A to point B in the fastest way possible—a mindset fixated on efficiency like in Singapore’s. When you think in circles, you rely on logic much less; your head is less important. You rely on your senses and heart.

Famous words by Naval on playing long-term games with long-term people.
