Grow or Die” is a core tenet at our companies. We believe every person, every company, and every organism is either growing or dying. Maintenance is a myth.

Life is growth. You grow or you die.

In this world you're either growing or you're dying so get in motion and grow.

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.

If you’re not growing, you’re what? You’re dying.

I refused to even consider ordering less inventory. Grow or die, that’s what I believed, no matter the situation.

Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead

"As long as you have not grasped that you have to die to grow, you are a troubled guest on the dark earth".

Growing old is compulsory - growing up is optional.

Why stay we on earth except to grow?

Leaning back in my recliner each night, staring at the ceiling, I tried to settle myself. I told myself: Life is growth. You grow or you die.

It is a mistake to suppose that all change or development is growth. The present condition of the earth’s surface is not mature or immature; the horse has not, so far as we know, reached some final and presumably optimal stage in evolutionary development. If a child’s language seems to grow like an embryo, it is only because the environmental contingencies have been neglected. The feral child has no language, not because his isolation has interfered with some growth process, but because he has not been exposed to a verbal community. We have no reason to call any culture mature in the sense that further growth is unlikely or that it would necessarily be a kind of deterioration. We call some cultures underdeveloped or immature in contrast with others we call ‘advanced’, but it is a crude form of jingoism to imply that any government, religion, or economic system is mature.

The main objection to the metaphor of growth, in considering either the development of an individual or the evolution of a culture, is that it emphasizes a terminal state which does not have a function. We say that an organism grows <i>toward</i> maturity or <i>in order to reach maturity</i>. Maturity becomes a goal, and progress becomes movement towards a goal. A goal is literally a terminus — the end of something such as a foot race. It has no effect on the race except to bring it to an end. The word is used in this relatively empty sense when we say that the goal of life is death or that the goal of evolution is to fill the earth with life. Death is no doubt the end of life, and a full world may be the end of evolution, but these terminal conditions have no bearing on the processes through which they are reached. We do not live <i>in order to die</i>, and evolution does not proceed <i>in order to</i> fill the earth with life.

Morality was not relative, they claimed, nor even existing solely in the realm of the human condition. No, they proclaimed morality as an imperative of all life, a natural law that was neither the brutal acts of beasts nor the lofty ambitions of humanity, but something other, something unassailable.

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.
