Previous journeys in search of treasure have taught me that a zigzag strategy is the best way to get ahead.

About This Quote

The power of a zigzag strategy is that it’s a very difficult thing to predict. No one has ever been able to do it, because no one has been able to read the path ahead of them quite as fast as you can. You have to be prepared for the unexpected and you have to be flexible enough to shift directions on a dime.
