No one ever went broke by saying no too often.

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

It's way easier to stay in the comfort zone, especially when things are going good than to go out on a limb and take some risks. My philosophy is exactly the opposite: Sometimes it's risky not to take a risk.

Rough spots sharpen our performance. And more often than not, obstacles can be turned into advantages. You just can't let your disappointment get in the way.

Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.

It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice. You don't know who your top customers will be five years from now or where you will be in 10 years. You may have a fancy title, but you will always need help from the people around you.

Decide what your priorities are and how much time you'll spend on them. If you don't, someone else will.
