If I had to name the single characteristic shared by all truly successful individuals, I’d say it’s the ability to create and nurture a network of contacts.

Failure is an attitude, not an outcome.

You can't be passionate when you feel like it. You have to be passionate about your job, product or cause all the time. There's no off switch on a tiger.

Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs you of your skills and your judgment, and it blinds you to creative solutions. It's the best-conditioned athlete, not the most talented, who generally wins when the going gets tough.

There is no shame in taking pride in achievements or position. But nobody gets to the top alone.

Failures don't plan to fail; they fail to plan.

If we could measure the damage to corporations from gossip, it might be more than the GNP of the Third World!
