Resilency, not perfection, is the signature of greatness.

You absolutely must have the discipline not to hire until you find the right people.

In the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work. Perhaps, then you might gain that great tranquility that comes from knowing that you've had a hand in creating something of intrinsic excellence that makes a contribution. Indeed, you might even gain that deepest of all satisfactions: knowing that your short time on this earth has been well spent, and that it mattered.

The only mistakes you can learn from are the ones you survive.

Our findings do not represent a quick fix, or the next fashion statement in a long string of management fads, or the next buzzword of the day, or a new 'program' to introduce. No! The only way to make any company visionary is through a long-term commitment to an eternal process of building the organization to preserve the core and stimulate progress.

Genuine confidence is what launches you out of bed in the morning, and through your day with a spring in your step.

Not all time in life is equal. How many opportunities do you get to talk about what your life is going to add up to with people thinking about the same question?
