So give me a turbulent world as opposed to a quiet world and I'll take the turbulent one.

The sad news is, nobody owes you a career. Your career is literally your business. You own it as a sole proprietor. You have one employee: yourself. You need to accept ownership of your career, your skills and the timing of your moves.

The future is going to take care of itself, like it always has.

Not all problems have a technological answer, but when they do, that is the more lasting solution.

Bad companies are destroyed by crisis, Good companies survive them, Great companies are improved by them.

If the brutal facts are not faced by leaders, the brutal reality sets in.

I believe in the value of paranoia. Business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left.
