PREPARATION

Every day I start by asking: what could go wrong? Not what could go right. That question has kept me alive in markets for forty years.

Everyone has got the will to win. It's only those with the will to prepare that do win.

The best investors don't predict the future. They prepare for multiple futures.

You don't have to be the most talented. You have to be the most prepared.

I am cocky in prediction. I am confident in preparation.

Football taught me that success comes from preparation, not talent alone.

My Parachute Regiment training taught me that preparation and improvisation are not opposites. They are partners.

Eight gold medals across three Olympics. That kind of dominance teaches you that preparation is everything — in sports and in business.

I fought to be the best in six weight classes. I fight to be the best promoter the sport has ever seen. The ring teaches you that the only thing that matters is showing up better prepared than the other person.

I study business the same way I studied film — every detail matters, every matchup is an advantage if you put in the work.

The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

We should be prepared for the worst and strive for the best. Huawei will survive any crisis.
