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

The most effective leaders of companies in transition are the quiet, unassuming people whose inner wiring is such that the worst circumstances bring out their best. They're unflappable, they're ready to die if they have to. But you can trust that, when bad things are happening, they will become clearheaded and focused.

The people who don't have a great life are the ones who settle for a good one.

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

Whether you prevail or fail depends more on what you do to yourself than on what the world does to you.

First figure out your partners, then figure out what ideas to pursue. The most important thing isn't the market you target, the product you develop or the financing, but the founding team.

The signature of mediocrity is not an unwillingness to change. The signature of mediocrity is inconsistency.
