If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.

I am aware that success is more than a good idea. It is timing too.

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

The predominant idea behind globalization, in its most virulent form, is an unpleasant kind of social Darwinism - that the world is for winners not losers, that only the successful count, that money is considerably more important than votes.

If trade undermines life, narrows it or impoverishes it, then it can destroy the world. If it enhances life, then it can better the world.

The end result of kindness is that it draws people to you.
