My view is there's no bad time to innovate.

If you have a business model that relies on customers being misinformed, you better start working on changing your business model.

Though we are optimistic, we must remain vigilant and maintain a sense of urgency.

We can't be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode.

It’s very important for entrepreneurs to be realistic. So if you believe on that first day while you’re writing the business plan that there’s a 70 percent chance that the whole thing will fail, then that kind of relieves the pressure of self-doubt.

There is no map, and charting a path ahead will not be easy. We will need to invent, which means we will need to experiment.

Teachers, who are really good create that environment where you can be very satisfied by the process of learning. If you do something and you find it a very satisfying experience then you want to do more of it. The great teachers somehow convey in their very attitude and their words and their actions and everything they do that this is an important thing you're learning. You end up wanting to do more of it and more of it and more of it. That's a real talent some people have to convey the importance of that and to reflect it back to the students.
