The smug complacency of technology adverts disguises a pretty mixed picture, with too many people not connected, too many passive users of technologies designed for interactive, and far too much talk about empowerment but far too little action to make it happen.

With success comes complacency if you let it happen. It is human nature; there is that urge to think about how well you have done.

Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which complacency is virtually absent.

The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities.

Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.

Humility was considered a great virtue in my family household. No show of complacency or self-satisfaction was ever tolerated. Patting yourself on the back was definitely not encouraged, and pleasure or pride would be punishable by death.

I always say, complacency is the kiss of death.

Experience should be a plus as long as it doesn't become complacency. If you say, 'We're not going to change; we didn't do it that way before,' then you've become too old.

Don't let your special character and values the secret that you know and no one else does the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

When a great team loses through complacency it will constantly search for new and more intricate explanations to explain away defeat.

On Australia Day 2010 as we enter this second decade of the 21st century Australians can be optimistic about our future but we cannot afford to mistake optimism for complacency.

You don't want too much fear in a market because people will be blinded to some very good buying opportunities. You don't want too much complacency because people will be blinded to some risk.

My fear now is of cliche of complacency of not being able to feel authenticity in myself and those around me.

Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.
