At an early age, my mother gave me this feeling that anything is possible, and I believe that.

I do think - as self-serving as it sounds - that I was the right person, given the very, very strong headwind we had from the economy and our own issues, to come back and rewrite the future of the company.

Success is the by-product when you work toward the target.

I'm in a different position than most CEO's. I'm a founder. I'm not a hired CEO. Now, I can be fired by the board, but most CEO's are hired by the board.

The hardest thing about being a leader is demonstrating or showing vulnerability. And that has a lot to do with trust.

Always challenge the old ways.

Cutting prices or putting things on sale is not sustainable business strategy. The other side of it is that you can't cut enough costs to save your way to prosperity.
