If we wait for the perfect answer, the world will pass us by

The best thing workers can bring to their jobs is a lifelong thirst for learning.

You talk about seeing around corners as an element of success. That's what differentiates the good leader. Not many people have it. Not many people can predict that corner. That would be a characteristic of great leaders.

You can't behave in a calm, rational manner. You've got to be out there on the lunatic fringe.

Any jerk can have short-term earnings. You squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, and the company sinks five years later.

Nothing is worse than the person in their 40s who says, 'I'm not going to learn this.' 'I don't carry an iPad.' That will label you and put you right in the corner. Some people do it as a badge of honor. I've seen them myself, they walk around bragging [about not knowing much about technology].

If work is just going in every day and getting a check, it's an ugly life. When you can make work a meaningful purpose, you've hit the jackpot for people.
