The critical question is not whether you'll have luck, but what you do with the luck that you get.

If I were running a company today, I would have one priority above all others: to acquire as many of the best people as I could. I'd put off everything else to fill my bus.

The only way to remain great is to keep on applying the fundamental principles that made you great.
