How can you ennoble the spirit when you are selling something as inconsequential as a face cream?

For me, campaigning and good business is also about putting forward solutions, not just opposing destructive practices or human rights abuses.

Business is not financial science, it's about trading.. buying and selling. It's about creating a product or service so good that people will pay for it.

There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.

Traditionally, the role of the individual was to conform to the organization. In the future the organization will have to conform to the needs of the individual.

business itself is now the most powerful force for change in the world today, richer and faster by far than most governments. And what is it doing with this power? It is using free trade, the most powerful weapon at its disposal, to tighten its grip on the globe.

It's frustrating sometimes to see the mismatch in resources between the pointless and the urgent, isn't it. Like the gap between the vast resources poured into military technological research to make war more sophisticated, and the trickle that goes into developing techniques that might prevent war instead.
