About this Quote
T. Boone Pickens is suggesting that it is necessary to keep things fresh and unpredictable in order to stay effective. He thinks that if you end up being too foreseeable, you can end up being stagnant and eventually fail. This is true in lots of aspects of life, from organization to relationships. If you constantly do the very same thing, people will end up being bored and you will not be able to keep their attention. It is necessary to keep things interesting and to show a make over regularly. This could imply altering your design, trying brand-new things, or perhaps taking threats. By doing this, you can stay ahead of the competition and stay successful.
