Change comes about when you become what you are, not when you try to become what you are not.

What then? Are we only to buy the books that we read? The question has merely to be thus bluntly put, and it answers itself. All impassioned bookmen, except a few who devote their whole lives to reading, have rows of books on their shelves which they have never read, and which they never will read. I know that I have hundreds such. My eye rests on the works of Berkeley in three volumes, with a preface by the Right Honourable Arthur James Balfour. I cannot conceive the circumstances under which I shall ever read Berkeley; but I do not regret having bought him in a good edition, and I would buy him again if I had him not; for when I look at him some of his virtue passes into me; I am the better for him. A certain aroma of philosophy informs my soul, and I am less crude than I should otherwise be. This is not fancy, but fact. […..] "Taking Berkeley simply as an instance, I will utilise him a little further. I ought to have read Berkeley, you say; just as I ought to have read Spenser, Ben Jonson, George Eliot, Victor Hugo. Not at all. There is no ‘ought’ about it. If the mass of obtainable first-class literature were, as it was perhaps a century ago, not too large to be assimilated by a man of ordinary limited leisure _in_ his leisure and during the first half of his life, then possibly there might be an ‘ought’ about it. But the mass has grown unmanageable, even by those robust professional readers who can ‘grapple with whole libraries.’ And I am not a professional reader. I am a writer, just as I might be a hotel-keeper, a solicitor, a doctor, a grocer, or an earthenware manufacturer. I read in my scanty spare time, and I don’t read in all my spare time, either. I have other distractions. I read what I feel inclined to read, and I am conscious of no duty to finish a book that I don’t care to finish. I read in my leisure, not from a sense of duty, not to improve myself, but solely because it gives me pleasure to read. Sometimes it takes me a month to get through one book. I expect my case is quite an average case. But am I going to fetter my buying to my reading? Not exactly! I want to have lots of books on my shelves because I know they are good, because I know they would amuse me, because I like to look at them, and because one day I might have a caprice to read them. (Berkeley, even thy turn may come!) In short, I want them because I want them. And shall I be deterred from possessing them by the fear of some sequestered and singular person, some person who has read vastly but who doesn’t know the difference between a J.S. Muria cigar and an R.P. Muria, strolling in and bullying me with the dreadful query: ‘_Sir, do you read your books?_

Double diffusion made possible, for the first time, the mass production of precise, high-performance transistors. The technique promised to be highly profitable for any organization that could master its technical intricacies. Shockley therefore quit Bell Labs and, with financial backing from Arnold Beckman, president of a prestigious maker of scientific instruments, started a company to produce double-diffusion transistors. The inventor recruited the best young minds he could find, including Noyce; Gordon Moore, a physical chemist from Johns Hopkins; and Jean Hoerni, a Swiss-born physicist whose strength was in theory. Already thinking about human intelligence, Shockley made each of his recruits take a battery of psychological tests. The results described Noyce as an introvert, a conclusion so ludicrous that it should have told Shockley something about the value of such tests. Early in 1956, Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories opened for business in the sunny valley south of Palo Alto. It was the first electronics firm in what was to become Silicon Valley.

«Nada fracasa tanto como el éxito.» Esta frase me encanta desde hace mucho tiempo, pero, por si usted no le encuentra sentido, permítame explicársela. Ese pensamiento se atribuye a menudo al historiador Arnold Toynbee, que hizo una crónica del auge y la decadencia de las civilizaciones.2 Postulaba que, cuando las sociedades afrontan desafíos, responden con creatividad e innovación hallando soluciones exitosas a dichos retos. Sin embargo, con el tiempo, la naturaleza del desafío varía inevitablemente, pero las sociedades responden con demasiada frecuencia al nuevo reto con su vieja estrategia. Su respuesta antaño exitosa simplemente no funciona a la hora de abordar el nuevo desafío, y de ahí viene la expresión «Nada fracasa tanto como el éxito». Es natural utilizar una respuesta que funcionó bien en el pasado para resolver problemas nuevos, especialmente si esa respuesta funcionó bien en múltiples ocasiones. No obstante, con la naturaleza cambiante del trabajo, como revelan las Cinco Fuerzas Emergentes, necesitamos una nueva respuesta a los nuevos desafíos.

A. R. promised to abide by Belmont’s wishes—to limit bets, to avoid the track except for holidays. He soon broke those promises. “What are you doing here today?” Belmont asked one day as he spotted Arnold at the track. “It’s a holiday.” “A holiday?” “Why yes, you ought to know, Mr. Belmont. It’s Rosh Hashanah.

That same day, Howards End was published by the firm of Edward Arnold. Its critical and popular success elevated E. M. Forster to the uppermost literary circles. Hailed by R. A. Scott-James of the Daily News as the finest novel of the year, it was set in a thoroughly up-to-date London of motor-cars, discussion groups and class distinctions. The eponymous house was, Scott-James felt, ‘a sort of symbol of everything in England, old and new, changeless, yet amid flux’.5 Forster’s epigraph, ‘Only Connect’, was a plea to readers who found themselves entangled in the conflicts – between men and women, rich and poor, conservative and progressive – that had defined Edward’s reign, and escalated dramatically in the wake of his death.
